The Boston Red Sox are adjusting their schedule for a second time in two days. Friday’s doubleheader Game 2 with the Chicago Cubs moves up 30 minutes, now 5:35 p.m. ET instead of 6:05 p.m. ET. This change, agreed with Major League Baseball, is due to an impending storm bringing heavy rains and high wind gusts to Boston. Game 1 was already moved from Sunday’s finale to Friday; it’s still 1:05 p.m. ET.

Saturday’s Wild Card

But get this: Saturday’s 7:15 p.m. ET game is totally fluid! Its start time, location, and even the venue could change. Both teams clinched postseason berths, yet this series *still* determines their crucial seeding.

What’s At Stake

Every single detail matters. That Saturday game is the final, high-stakes battle for playoff position.
