The most interesting matchup on national television tonight is the New York Yankees at the Cleveland Guardians, live on TBS at 6:40 PM ET from Progressive Field.
Here’s why this game takes the spotlight, plus a quick look at the rest of tonight’s slate:
? The Main Event: New York Yankees vs. Cleveland Guardians
- Time: 6:40 PM ET
- Channel: TBS (also on Amazon Prime Video and CLEG; in-market viewers can find it on YES)
- On the mound: Gerrit Cole (1–1, 2.00 ERA) vs. Slade Cecconi (3–5, 4.92 ERA)
- Why it’s interesting: A premium American League clash between two contenders. New York (39–26) grabbed Monday’s opener 7–5 and goes for the series win behind Cole, who has been outstanding.
