The New York Yankees will try to advance to the American League Championship series on Friday night in Game 5 of the AL Division series against their division rival Baltimore Orioles in a game that stands out in Friday's television lineup.

Staff ace CC Sabathia, after going 8⅔ innings in New York's 7-2 Game 1 victory, will take the mound against Baltimore's Jason Hammel, who went 5⅔ innings, allowing two earned runs in Game 1.

Game time for the Yankees and Orioles is set for 5:07 p.m. ET and will be televised on TBS.

The nightcap features Game 5 of the National League Division series between the St. Louis Cardinals and Washington Nationals, as Adam Wainwright will make the start for the defending champion Cardinals against Washington's Gio Gonzalez. First pitch is set for 8:37 p.m. ET and can also be seen on TBS.

For those looking for a college football fix, the Central Michigan Chippewas (2-3, 0-2 in the MAC) host the Navy Midshipmen (2-3 overall) in a contest airing on ESPN2 beginning at 8 p.m. ET.
