First pitch: 5:10 CDT
TV: FSN
Radio: Twins Radio Network
First of all: the sun is out at my Sherburne County bunker, so that hopefully means the rain over the metro area will clear out by the first pitch. Also, as you've no doubt heard by now, the bullpen's closer-by-committee approach has been kicked to the curb before the regular season has even begun. Jon Rauch is your new closer.
