Twins to be featured in ESPN triple-header on Memorial Day.

ESPN has announced that the Twins game against the Baltimore Orioles on Memorial Day, May 31st, will be nationally televised on the network as part of their “Holiday Baseball” triple-header. First pitch is scheduled for noon Central, and it will be the first game showcased on ESPN that day, followed by Red Sox-Astros at 3pm and Pirates-Royals at 7pm.

From the official ESPN press release:

ESPN will televise a Memorial Day tripleheader on Monday, May 31, beginning at 1 p.m. ET. Approximately ten hours of MLB game coverage begins with the Minnesota Twins and Nelson Cruz visiting the Baltimore Orioles and Cedric Mullins in a full national ESPN telecast.

This will be Minnesota’s fifth game on a national broadcast this season, and the second on ESPN. So far, the Twins are 2-0 in national TV games this year, first getting a 15-6 win in Detroit on ESPN on April 5th, and then beating the Royals at Target Field 9-1 on FS1 on April 30th. Let’s hope this trend of the Twins winning nationally broadcast games continues, with three more coming up in the next three weeks.
