MINNEAPOLIS -- Monday night’s game between the Guardians and Twins at Target Field was suspended after three innings due to inclement weather and a forecast of continuing rain throughout the evening. The Twins lead, 2-1.
Weather permitting, the game is scheduled to be resumed at 6:10 p.m. ET/5:10 CT on Tuesday, with the game initially scheduled for 7:40 p.m. ET/6:40 CT. set to follow 30 minutes later. Gates will open at 5:30 p.m. ET/4:30 CT. However, the forecast calls for rain throughout the day and night on Tuesday. The series is scheduled to finish with a 1:10 p.m. ET/12:10 CT game on Wednesday.
Both teams are planning to stick with their originally scheduled starters -- Gavin Williams for Cleveland and Chris Paddack for Minnesota -- for the second game on Tuesday. The teams will be permitted to add a 27th player for the second game only, but rosters stay frozen for the resumption of the suspended game.
