The shooting of Daunte Wright by law enforcement in Minnesota was the reason the game's being delayed.

Ah okay, haven't heard about this at all yet then.

Here's the statement from ESPN:

Monday afternoon's game between the Minnesota Twins and the Boston Red Sox has been postponed due to "safety reasons" following the police shooting of Daunte Wright on Sunday night.

"Out of respect for the tragic events that occurred yesterday in Brooklyn Center, and following the additional details in this evolving situation, the Minnesota Twins have decided it is in the best interest of our fans, staff, players and community to not play today's game" the Twins said in a statement.

The decision to postpone the game was made by the Twins after consulting Major League Baseball, in addition to local and state officials.

Wright, a 20-year-old Black man, died Sunday after a police officer shot him in the suburb of Brooklyn Center during a traffic stop. The Brooklyn Center police chief said the shooting was accidental, as the officer involved intended to fire a stun gun and not a handgun during a struggle with Wright. Police were trying to arrest him on an outstanding warrant.

Tensions were already high in the city due to the ongoing trial of Derek Chauvin, the former Minneapolis police officer charged with the murder of George Floyd.

Protests related to Wright's shooting are planned in the area of downtown Minneapolis, where Target Field, home of the Twins, is located. Prior to the announcement of postponement, both teams had taken the field to warm up, with the national anthem already played.

NBA officials and representatives from the Brooklyn Nets and Minnesota Timberwolves were discussing whether the teams would play in Minneapolis tonight.

I'm afraid so. He went for his stun-gun but pulled his gun. The fact the guy wasn't even doing anything and was unarmed is what makes it worse.

It is.

This is funny.

The Braves start off 0-4. Then they won four in a row. Now they lost four in a row.

Our pitchers have been horrible. Even the relief pitchers couldn't close the deal in extra innings. It's been embarrassing for them to give up a lot of runs.

 

[Chris]

Padres fucking wrecking Mitch Keller of the Pirates rn lmao

The Braves were damn lucky at the very end of the game, where they are trailing 6-5 in the 9th inning and Dansby Swanson became the hero by hitting a walk-off win to avoid the four-game sweep against the Marlins.

GO BRAVOS!!!
