For the first time since 2019, postseason baseball is back in the Bronx. Gerrit Cole and the Yankees made it a triumphant return on Tuesday night in Game 1 of the ALDS against the Cleveland Guardians with a 4-1 victory.
But because of the new MLB postseason format and some weird scheduling, New York and Cleveland didn’t play on Wednesday. That’s unfortunate because it was a perfect day for baseball. There’s also rain in the forecast for Thursday, making a Game 2 postponement a real possibility.
Since it’s the postseason, the league will likely decide whether the game should go on as scheduled or not well before first pitch at 7:37 pm ET.
