Everyone knows that the first two games of the American League Division Series in Anaheim between the Red Sox and Angels will be Thursday and Friday. Everybody also knows that both games start at 9:37 p.m. ET.
But the start times for Game 3 and Games 4 and 5, if necessary, of the ALDS have just been released as well.
Sunday’s Game 3 at Fenway Park in Boston will begin at 12:07 p.m. ET. Game 3 of the Yankees-Twins series will also be on Sunday, starting at 7:07 p.m. ET at the Metrodome in Minneapolis.
Game 4 of the Red Sox-Angels series will follow on Monday, if necessary, with the first pitch scheduled for 8:37 p.m. ET. The Yankees and Twins will play their Game 4, if necessary, earlier on Columbus Day, with a 5:07 p.m. start. If either series ends in a sweep, the one game to be played on Monday, whether it’s Angels-Red Sox or Yankees-Twins, would begin at 7:37 p.m. ET.
If either ALDS series goes to a deciding Game 5, Tuesday, Oct. 13, will be a travel day.
If both series go to five games, the Sox and Angels will face off in Game 5 on Wednesday, Oct. 14, at 9:37 p.m. ET in Anaheim. First pitch of the Twins-Yankees Game 5 would be at 6:07 p.m. ET in the Bronx. If only one of the series goes to a Game 5, it would begin at 8:07 p.m. ET.
