The Los Angeles Dodgers and Houston Astros are tied at 1-1 after the first two games at Dodger Stadium.
Previously, the start times were mostly at 8:09 p.m., with Game 5 scheduled for 8:16 p.m. and Game 7 at 8:10 p.m., but now will start slightly later. Partially because of the pregame first pitch ceremony on Wednesday in Los Angeles involving Vin Scully, the actual time of the first pitch was 8:17 p.m. PT, eight minutes later than scheduled.
The Fox television coverage for each game will begin at 7:30 p.m. ET before each game except for Game 5, which will start at 8 p.m.
