Overview

  • Monday's series opener between the Guardians and Twins was suspended after three innings due to heavy rain, with the Twins leading 2-1.
  • Persistent rain on Tuesday postponed both the resumption of Monday's game and the originally scheduled Tuesday game, leading to a doubleheader on Wednesday.
  • The suspended game resumed Wednesday afternoon in the fourth inning, with Carlos Santana tying the score early before Minnesota regained the lead.
  • Kody Clemens delivered a dramatic ninth-inning walk-off double to secure a 6-5 win for the Twins in the resumed game.
  • Tuesday's postponed game has been rescheduled for September 20 as part of a split doubleheader, extending logistical challenges for both teams.
