The Tigers and Twins are squaring off in a big early-season battle in the AL Central and it’s all happening on ‘Friday Night Baseball’ with Apple TV+.
Even though it’s still chilly out, these division games already carry weight. Just look at last season: As the Twins slipped from the top spot, the Tigers pounced on the opportunity, snatching up a surprise wild card spot and punching their ticket to the postseason. So yeah — even April games can make a difference down the line.
This year, Minnesota’s still trying to hit its stride, but with stars like Byron Buxton and Carlos Correa in the lineup, they’ve got the firepower to bounce back fast.
Over in Detroit, the Tigers have picked up right where they left off. They were riding a five-game winning streak until Wednesday, and former top draft pick Spencer Torkelson is finally looking like the real deal, posting a whopping 1.037 OPS in his first 12 games.
On the pitching front, Detroit is giving the ball to Reese Olson, a promising young right-hander. Meanwhile, Minnesota’s expected to call up David Festa from Triple-A to make the start, another young arm to keep an eye on.
Want to tune in? Here’s the scoop: the game won’t be on regular cable. Instead, you can stream it live on Apple TV+. Just fire up the Apple TV app on your smart TV, Roku, Fire Stick, or game console and enjoy the action.
