A game between the Minnesota Twins and Boston Red Sox today was postponed for a variety of reasons. Protests were taking place near the baseball stadium, and the team issued a statement saying the decision was made out of respect for Wright’s family and community safety concerns. In addition, there were reports that a player on the Red Sox was arrested for marijuana use. However, there’s a new reason for the postponement: the case of Alton Wright, a 20-year-old Black man shot by police.
Following the shooting in Brooklyn Center on Sunday night, the Minnesota Twins and Boston Red Sox have postponed their scheduled games. Both teams will make up today’s game with a doubleheader on Monday, July 16. The two teams will play seven-inning games and will be allowed to add a 27th player. The Twins have won seven of their last nine games and are currently 11.5 back in the Central Division.

In the meantime, the team will try to get the game rescheduled as quickly as possible. There’s no word on whether the Twins will play the game tomorrow, but fans should expect a cancellation in the near future. This is not an unusual occurrence, and the Twins are a part of the history of Minnesota baseball.
