Tickets for tonight's game may say it begins at 6:10, but that's not actually correct. That's the starting time for the Twins' Hall of Fame induction ceremony for Torii Hunter, which will feature an introduction by his former teammate, fellow Hall of Famer, and current Twins bullpen coach, Eddie Guardado.
First pitch will take place at 6:35 p.m., the Twins say, when Tyler Duffey tries to extend his personal winning streak to four straight games. Duffey is 2-0 against the Indians in three career starts, all Twins victories, with a 0.93 ERA. His first career win came against Cleveland last Aug. 15, when he shut out the Indians over six innings.
Duffey will be facing Trevor Bauer, and the Indians righthander hasn't had nearly that level of success against the Twins. He's 1-4 with a 5.07 ERA in eight starts against Minnesota, though he's enjoying the best season of his career right now: 7-3 with a 3.30 ERA.
Robbie Grossman gets a rare night off tonight, with Eddie Rosario back in left field. Here are the lineups for the second game of this three-game homestand:
INDIANS
C. Santana 1B
Kipnis 2B
Lindor SS
