Series Context
This is the second consecutive year the Mariners are playing in Minnesota during this time of year. Last June, the teams had a four-and-a-half-hour rain delay in their series finale that resulted in a 10-1 Twins victory. Target Field lacks a roof, making weather delays a recurring issue for visiting teams.
