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

Keys to the Game
The Yankees arrive at Target Field holding an 87-63 record and looking to protect their position in the standings as the regular season winds down. Minnesota, at 70-80, needs wins to stay relevant in any postseason conversation.
The mound matchup heavily favors New York. Max Fried has been sharp all year — a 2.73 ERA and 0.99 WHIP are the kind of numbers that make opposing lineups uncomfortable. Bailey Ober has been serviceable but his 4.28 ERA and 1.25 WHIP represent a clear edge for the visitors tonight.
