There’s always optimism as the Major League Baseball season opens, and then ... there’s the weather.
It’s chilly at Target Field as the Twins face the Houston Astros. But the sun popped out just before first pitch, so the complaints are ... fewer.
We’ll keep you updated from the park in this “rematch” of the 2023 American League playoffs.
The Astros and Twins both opened the season 2-4.
The Twins won their past two games in Chicago against the White Sox to pull out of a four-game losing streak.
