Additionally, the Minnesota Twins and Kansas City Royals will close out their series in the Twin Cities.

Later, the Seattle Mariners will look to sweep the Houston Astros, while the New York Yankees will look to hold on to the best record in the American League as they will close out their series with the Los Angeles Angels tonight.
