The deciding American League Division Series game between the Cleveland Guardians and Detroit Tigers has been postponed to a new date on Saturday.

The Guardians, in conjunction with Major League Baseball, announced Friday that first pitch for Game 5 at Progressive Field in Cleveland has been postponed to 1:08 p.m. ET due to inclement weather expected in the area Saturday evening. The forecast for Cleveland calls for showers starting at 8 p.m. Saturday and lasting through Sunday, according to The Weather Channel. The elimination game was originally scheduled to begin at 8:08 p.m. ET.

The winner will face the New York Yankees in the American League Championship Series starting Monday at Yankee Stadium.

The Guardians forced Game 5 with a 5-4 win at Detroit on Thursday night in which Jose Ramirez and David Fry hit home runs. At the start of the series, both teams split their home games.

Cleveland could turn to veteran starting pitcher Matthew Boyd, who spent eight seasons in Detroit, or simply rely on its strong bullpen in Saturday's game. The Tigers are expected to draft AL Cy Young Award candidate Tarik Skubal. He has a 24-inning scoreless streak dating back to the regular season, including seven scoreless innings pitched in a Game 2 win over the Guardians.
