Getaway game + rain = likely postponement
First Pitch: TBD

The Twins will go for a record breaking second win in a row if the rain ever goes away, but that’s not looking likely at the moment. There’s currently rain scheduled until 10PM tonight and both teams have to catch flights out of town afterward, so I would categorize this game as “unlikely to be played” but they will try to squeeze in the necessary innings regardless.
If they get started, it will be a battle of struggling former top pitching prospects. Both Simeon Woods Richardson for the Twins and Emerson Hancock for the Mariners have appeared on various Top 100 prospect lists, but have struggled in their MLB appearances. They both have ERAs over five and WHIPs over 1.4, which is not exactly a recipe for success, though SWR has looked okay in his last two starts, a welcome upgrade for a struggling Twins starting staff.
