ALCS Game 6 moved to tonight

Baseball: Game 6 of the A.L. Championship Series between the Los Angeles Angels and New York Yankees was postponed because of rain Saturday.

The game was rescheduled for 5:20 p.m. PDT today at Yankee Stadium.

New York leads the best-of-7 series 3-2 and needs one victory to clinch its 40th pennant and reach the World Series for the first time since 2003. Game 7, if necessary, will be Monday in New York at 4:57 p.m. PDT.

If the Angels can push the series to a seventh game, the rainout could benefit them. No. 1 starter John Lackey, who took a shutout into the seventh inning in Game 5, could be available to pitch on three days’ rest.

“We have some more options and obviously we’ll know better after tomorrow,” manager Mike Scioscia said. “I think it benefits both teams certainly in resetting the bullpens.”

Rain had been falling off and on in New York since Friday night. A steady drizzle, with occasional spurts of heavy downpour, kept the tarp on the field all afternoon. The game was called by Major League Baseball nearly 2 hours before the scheduled start.

No. 6 Boise State rolls over Hawaii

College football: Kellen Moore threw a career-best five touchdown passes and No. 6 Boise State forced turnover after turnover in a dominating 54-9 victory over host Hawaii to remain unbeaten and stay in the BCS race.

The Broncos (7-0, 2-0 Western Athletic Conference) looked confident and sharp, building a 44-0 lead by the third quarter behind their stifling defense. For the night, the Broncos forced six turnovers that led to 30 points.

Jeron Johnson intercepted two passes and also recovered a fumble on Hawaii’s opening drive that ignited Boise State’s scoring performance.

Moore was 18 of 30 for 223 yards. Four of his scoring throws came in the first half.

Hawaii is 2-5, 0-4.
