First Pitch: 7:10 PM CT / 8:10 PM ET
Both clubs enter this matchup hovering around .500, fighting to stay relevant in a tight AL Central. Minnesota sends K. Rojas, the young right‑hander with electric stuff but inconsistent command, while Chicago counters with Martin, who has quietly become one of their most reliable arms.
This is a pivotal swing game for both teams.
