While baseball fans may have had to bail out of work a little early on Monday, as Game 3 of the American League Championship Series began at 4:00 p.m. EDT., the afternoon start didn’t have a significant impact on Fox’ ratings.

The third game in the best-of-seven Yankees-Angels tilt drew 7.3 million viewers, down 18 percent from the Phillies-Dodgers NLCS Game 3 a year ago. (That game was played on a Sunday night.)

Compared to Game 3 of the year-ago ALCS, a Red Sox-Rays battle that also was telecast on a Monday afternoon, Fox’ delivery was up 61 percent versus TBS’ 5 million viewers, per Nielsen live-plus-same-day ratings data.
