Tigers at Guardians live updates: Time, TV and how to watch ALDS winner-take-all Game 5
View Date:2025-01-10 05:08:59
Game 5 of the American League division series pits division rivals against one another as the Detroit Tigers face the Cleveland Guardians.
And the stakes couldn't be any higher. The winner will move on; the loser goes home.
Despite being away from home for the elimination game, the Tigers find themselves in a comfortable spot. Tarik Skubal, their left-handed starting pitcher and the likely AL Cy Young Award winner, will take the mound five days after limiting the Guardians to three hits in seven scoreless innings.
After finally snapping a skid of 20 consecutive innings without a run, the Guardians avoided elimination Thursday with a 5-4 win in Detroit. David Fry played hero with a two-out, two-run homer in the seventh inning to wipe away a one-run deficit. Fry later executed a suicide squeeze that scored Brayan Rocchio with an important insurance run.
The winner of Saturday's game will advance to the AL championship series against the New York Yankees, who eliminated the Kansas City Royals in four games in their ALDS.

Why did Tigers-Guardians move game time?
The Guardians announced Friday, in conjunction with Major League Baseball, that first pitch for Game 5 at Progressive Field in Cleveland has been moved up to 1:08 p.m. ET due to impending inclement weather expected in the area by Saturday evening. The forecast for Cleveland calls for showers beginning at 8 p.m. Saturday and continuing into Sunday, according to The Weather Channel. The elimination game was originally slated to begin at 8:08 p.m. ET. — Mark Giannotto
