The game was scheduled for a 5:40 p.m. start (on BSN Extra) but will be delayed by rain until 6:45 p.m.
Righthander Pablo López (1-1, 2.84) will take the mound for the Twins against Tigers lefthander Tarik Skubal (1-0, 2.92).
Thursday afternoon’s game was rained out, so the teams will play a doubleheader on Saturday.
The Twins (4-6) will use their all-righty hitting lineup against Skubal except Eddie Julien, who hit two home runs against the Dodgers on Wednesday, will be the No. 9 hitter.
Detroit is 7-5.

Robust competition is likely for righthander Roki Sasaki, whose agent suggests a “smaller, midmarket” team might be a good route to take, but the Los Angeles Dodgers are said to be the favorites to land him.
