Schedule Change: Minnesota Twins at Detroit Tigers moved to Sunday Night Baseball on June 29th

[Matthew Lenz]

As the standings currently sit, the Minnesota Twins and the Detroit Detroit Tigers are the top two teams in the American League Central.

Major League Baseball and ESPN are rewarding them by flexing their Sunday matinee to Sunday night baseball on June 29 starting at 6 PM.

For the Twins, this will be their first time on Sunday Night Baseball in five seasons. They last played on Sunday Night Baseball in 2020 against the Chicago Cubs. That game featured six shutout innings from then rotation ace Jose Berríos followed by three innings of dominance from the Twins bullpen. Max Kepler had himself a night going 3-for-5 with a two run blast. Also of note, Target Field has not hosted Sunday Night Baseball since its inaugural season, according to Declan Goff.

Hopefully the Twins can play better in front of a national audience than they did in front of their own fans against he Texas Rangers. 😬

As a STH since the beginning, it's so true the Twins haven't felt relevant nationally since 2010. I wish this was a home game just for the atmosphere of Sunday Night Baseball.
