Minnesota Twins Face Diamondbacks on Friday Night Baseball

Minnesota Twins are set to take on the Arizona Diamondbacks on Friday night at Chase Field in Phoenix, with the game scheduled to start at 9:45 p.m. ET. The Twins, coming off a three-game sweep of the Texas Rangers, will look to build on their recent success behind starter Connor Prielipp. Trevor Larnach had a big game in the Twins' last outing, going 3-for-5 with a three-run homer. And Joe Ryan pitched five shutout innings to help the Twins secure a 9-3 victory. The Twins improved to 36-40 on the season and are now within 4.5 games of American League Central co-leaders Chicago and Cleveland. But they'll face a tough test against the Diamondbacks, who are 38-36 on the season and have a solid starting pitcher in Michael Soroka, who is 8-3 with a 3.11 ERA. The game will be streamed on Apple TV+, which offers a free trial, and then costs $12.99 per month. So fans can catch the action live and see if the Twins can keep their momentum going. The Diamondbacks are a -170 favorite in the game, but the Twins have shown they can compete with anyone. With a strong outing from Prielipp and some timely hitting, the Twins could pull off the upset. The game is part of Apple TV+'s Friday Night Baseball package, which will feature 50 MLB games in 2026. And with the Twins and Diamondbacks both looking to make a push in their respective divisions, this game should be an exciting one to watch.
