MLB officials mulling over whether to postpone tonight's game

The Guardians are two wins away from the World Series.
After a 3-2 win in Game Three of the A-L-C-S, fans are celebrating a victory Friday. But now attention turns to Game Four and whether the weather could impact tonight's first pitch. The Guardians say their focus remains the same despite questions about the weather.

"Just got to control what you can control. Uh, we have no say so and if the game gets moved up or gets moved back, so we just got to focus on ourselves," said Guardians starting pitcher Gavin Williams.

The Guardians have not announced a starting pitcher for tonight.
First pitch is tentatively set for 8 p.m. as M-L-B continues to monitor the weather.
