The Minnesota Twins are scheduled to face the visiting Pittsburgh Pirates at Target Field in Minneapolis, Minnesota on Monday, August 3, 2020, 8:10 P.M, ET. The Pittsburgh Pirates are going to have to bring every kind of weapon in their arsenal as they face a strong team in the American League, the Minnesota Twins. They are the same team who broke the record of most runs made last year. Pittsburgh is now at the bottom of the National League with a 2-7 record, and is 5th and last place in the NL Central Division.

The Pirates are having a disappointing and rough start to the season. Being 4 games below the .500 mark, they need to make something happen if they want to salvage the season. Fresh from a loss against the Chicago Cubs at 2-1, the squad will want to bounce back coming into this new series. Pittsburg only had 6 hits during the ballgame, while Mitch Keller took the loss allowing 2 runs of 5 hits, 1 walk, and a strikeout in 2.2 innings. Josh Bell, Philip Evans, Adam Frazier, and Jacob Stallings each chipped in a base hit in the Buc’s losing effort.
