Game 158: Twins at Giants
The Twins and Giants get set for some late night baseball.
On April 30, 2026, the Minnesota Twins took on the Toronto Blue Jays at Target Field in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The game commenced with a first pitch at 8:45 PM CDT. Fans gathered, and Twins mascot T.C. Bear interacted with the crowd before the start.
The game's outcome was heavily influenced by the performance of Twins pitcher Taj Bradley, who needed to strike out to reach the 200 strikeout milestone for the season. The last Twins pitcher to accomplish this feat was Pablo Lopez, who recorded 234 strikeouts in 2023.
Fans were urged to enjoy the game while ensuring their safety and preventing any career-altering injuries. The Giants' lineup, featuring Drew Gilbert in center field, Jonah Cox at second base, and Turner Hill in left field, was anticipated to be a formidable force. The Twins also displayed their strength with a lineup led by Luke Keaschall in right field, Brooks Lee at third base, and Victor Caratini at catcher.
