The lone win-or-go-home game in this year’s divisional series is going to be pushed back a bit because of Mother Nature.
Monday night’s Game 5 between the Yankees and Guardians in New York has officially been delayed due to rain in the forecast, the Yankees announced Monday evening. First pitch was originally scheduled for 7:07 p.m. ET.
The current plan is to reassess the forecast around 7 p.m.
New York was able to force Game 5 after beating Cleveland, 4–2, in Game 4 on Sunday night in Cleveland. The Yankees jumped out to a 3–0 lead through the first two innings, which was all the run support Gerrit Cole and the New York bullpen needed.
