Thursday's Tigers-Twins start time moved to noon CT

By | 2:10 PM EDT

The Minnesota Twins announced on Wednesday that they have shifted the start time of their Thursday, July 4 home game vs. the Detroit Tigers at Target Field to a 12:10 p.m. CT first pitch, rather than 1:10 p.m., as previously scheduled. The Target Field gates will now open at 10:30 a.m. on Thursday.

Moving first pitch time up by one hour was done due to the weather forecast, which predicts inclement weather on Thursday afternoon.
