Monday evening’s matchup between the Houston Astros and Minnesota Twins has been delayed due to rain.

The game began at 7:40 p.m. ET at Target Field and made it into the fifth inning before inclement weather in the area forced a stoppage. The tarp is out and the game is in a rain delay. An updated start time following the delay has not yet been announced.
