Twins will attempt to resume Monday's game and then play today's game. The forecast says rain but not a lot of rain so they might force two wet games today.
Game 1:
Bullpen vs Joe Ryan
Game 2:
Gavin Williams vs Chris Paddack

2025 Game 44: Twins at Orioles
The Twins are looking for another sweep of Baltimore today after taking both ends of yesterday's double header. The offense has kicked in, the bullpen has been improving and the starters appear to be hitting their strides in earnest and getting stretched out a bit more. Paddack is back on the mound today, his last start was damn good and very efficient. Hopefully he can repeat that today. The orange birds counter with Tomoyuki Sugano. The 35-year old righthander is 4-2 with a 2.72 ERA and a low 1.01 WHIP.

2024 Game Log 66: Minnesota Twins vs. Colorado Rockies Colorado Rockies vs. Minnesota Twins
West Coast road trip! It's Paddack against H-Dak. Neither pitcher has been particularly good of late, so that and the ballpark might make the ball a bit more lively. You know, provided the batters can get their bats on it.
Twins are good against bad teams (usually), so hopefully they have a few more wins on this side of the Mississippi.
ETA: Oh yeah, they're in Minnesota.
2024 Game 61: Minnesota Twins at New York Yankees
Chris Paddack
vs
Carlos Rodón
Another Twins-Yankees game. The Twins are 0-4 so far this season. That means they are due for a win.
2024 Game 56 – City of Fountains vs. Land O’ Lakes
DAY GAME ALERT!
First pitch @ 12:10 p.m. CT
On the Twins website today, the top story is about Bailey Ober's complete futility against the Royals. Ober has a 7.71 ERA in nine career starts against KC, and a 3.36 ERA against everyone else. So Jeff A is not the only one to notice that the Royals just seem to own Ober.
Today Chris Paddack takes the mound for the Twins, countered by Brady Singer for the Royals. Paddack has been a fairly reliable mid-rotation starter this year, pitching to a 4.39 ERA in ten starts. Singer has been quite good this season, sporting a 2.63 ERA and a WHIP of just 1.12.
The ass bats were back on full display last night and the Twins futility at the plate was palpable. What was last year a weak division that we won fairly handily seems much more competitive this year. KC has been building up for a few years and looks like a real contender. But the team to beat to get to the top has to be Cleveland. They have been our closest competition in the division the last couple of years and this year they are playing like champions again. But there's lots of season left and we all know about the sudden reversals of fortune that can occur in sports. Hell, that's what makes it worth watching.
Play ball!
2024 Game 36: Seattle Mariners at Minnesota Twins
George Kirby
vs
Chris Paddack
Kirby is very good and an ideal for anyone that loathes walks. He had a Silvaesque 19 walks over 190 ⅔ innings last season. This year is more of the same with four walks in his 38 ⅓ innings. He's striking out a bit more than last year and also surrendered a mere two home runs.
2024 Game 10: Los Angeles Dodgers at Minnesota Twins
Bobby Miller
vs
Chris Paddack
Day game alert!
I've missed the last several games as part of watching a celestial event. Unfortunately, so have the Twins' bats. Tonight's opposing starter strikes out a bunch so I don't have much hopes for today's game.
