YouTube will televise the Twins-White Sox game, which starts a bit after noon here at Target Field. (And yes, the game is free on YouTube.com if you are internet illiterate, like me.)
Bailey Ober faces Reynaldo Lopez as Twins, White Sox play on YouTube TV
After Chicago won the opener 11-1, the Twins came back to claim Tuesday's game 4-3.
August 11, 2021 at 4:06PM
Rookie Bailey Ober (1-1, 4.99 ERA) makes his 12th start of the season for the Twins, and his fifth against the American League Central-leading White Sox.
Reynaldo Lopez (1-0, 1.59) is on the bump for Chicago, which is 18 games up on the last-place Twins in the Central. Ex-Twin Lance Lynn, who is a Cy Young favorite in the AL this season, was scheduled to start, but was pushed back a day.
The teams split the first two games of the three-game set. Reusse stopped by Tuesday to opine on Sox manager Tony La Russa. Phil's notebook from Tuesday is here.
Chicago is headed to the cornfields of Dyersville, Iowa, to play the Yankees on Thursday in the Field of Dreams Game. La Russa said he would miss the game to attend the funeral of his sister's husband.
Tim Anderson gets the day off for the White Sox today, as does Luis Robert. Josh Donaldson (hamstring) is sitting out a day game after a night game for the Twins.
The Pale Hose (wanted to work that in here) put starter Carlos Rodon, who threw a no-hitter earlier this season, on the 10-day injured list because of left shoulder fatigue.

The speculation surrounding shortstop Carlos Correa’s availability in a trade was overblown this week, Twins officials indicated at the winter meetings in Dallas.
