UPDATE: The weather has started to clear up in Cleveland and first pitch for Saturday’s game matchup is now expected for 8:15 p.m. ET.


Saturday’s Minnesota Twins vs. Cleveland Guardians matchup will be delayed due to inclement weather. First pitch was originally scheduled for 6:40 p.m. ET.

The American League Central rivals opened up a three-game series on Friday, which resulted in a 6-4 victory by the Guardians. Cleveland currently sits atop top of the division with a 21-19 record, while Minnesota is in last place after a 16-23 start.

The Guardians currently hold -122 moneyline odds of winning Saturday’s contest on DraftKings Sportsbook, while the Twins are +102 underdogs. The game total is set at eight runs.

Joe Ryan and Tanner Bibee are the expected starters for Saturday’s matchup. However, it is worth monitoring if this changes, given how close to the scheduled first pitch the delay occurred.
