A Note on MLB.TV
MLB.TV remains an out-of-market product. For 22 of 30 clubs there is a separate local in-market subscription sold inside the MLB app (~$19.99/month or ~$99.99/season) that is blackout-free. Games exclusive to national partners (Netflix, NBC/Peacock, Apple TV, FOX, ESPN) are not part of the MLB.TV package — that’s not a blackout, they simply aren’t included. No public blackout map exists for Latin American countries, so availability may vary.

Keys to the Game
Both clubs are well out of playoff contention — Minnesota at 73-84, San Francisco at 65-92 — so this is about finishing the season with purpose and building toward next year. The pitching matchup tilts toward the Twins: Taj Bradley has been one of their steadiest arms all season, posting a 3.81 ERA with 199 strikeouts in 172.1 innings. Molina has been serviceable in a limited sample (3-1, 4.18 ERA), but the workload gap between the two starters is significant.
