The American League Division Series between the Cleveland Indians and Boston Red Sox starts on Thursday, October 6. Here’s the complete television schedule for the series.

The Boston Red Sox are heading to Cleveland to take on the Indians in Game 1 of the American League Division Series on Thursday. The two teams played seven games against each other during the 2016 season but two were postponed due to rain, so Boston holds a 3-2 advantage in five games played between the two.

One of the big stories heading into the ALDS is that Cleveland Indians manager Terry Francona will be facing his former Boston Red Sox team for a chance to play in the League Championship Series. Francona insists that his personal feelings about the Red Sox will remain just that: personal feelings. “I can’t let my personal feelings ever get in the way or take away from what [the Red Sox] have done. So, whatever my feelings are need to remain my feelings.”

Here’s a look at the ALDS television schedule. All games in the best-of-five games series will air on TBS.

Game 1 of the ALDS kicks off on Thursday, October 6, at 8 p.m. ET in Cleveland. Rick Porcello is scheduled to pitch for the Red Sox while Trevor Bauer takes the mound for the Indians.

Game 2 is set for Friday, October 7 at 4:30 p.m. ET. Boston has David Price on the mound and Cleveland has Corey Kluber scheduled to pitch. Indians ace Kluber hasn’t played since September 26 after he came out of the game against Detroit in the fourth inning with some tightness in his quad.

Game 4 and Game 5, should they be necessary, will take place on Monday, October 10 and Wednesday, October 12, respectively, times as yet to be determined.
