The American League Championship Series stays in Cleveland on Friday, October 16, when the Guardians host the Tampa Bay Rays in Game 4 at Progressive Field, with first pitch scheduled for 6:08 p.m. ET.
Cleveland is scheduled to start right-hander Shane Bieber, while Tampa Bay counters with right-hander Ryan Pepiot. The middle games in Cleveland often decide whether a series returns to Florida, and both clubs have leaned on their pitching staffs through the first three games.
The series opened in St. Petersburg, where the teams split the first two games - Cleveland taking Game 1 and Tampa Bay answering in Game 2 - before the matchup shifted north to Progressive Field for Game 3 on Thursday.
Friday's game is carried on FOX in the United States. Game 5, if the schedule holds, is also set for Cleveland before any return to Florida for the closing games of the best-of-seven series.
