Rain has been falling all day in Minneapolis, however it should be tapering off just in time of the start of the Brewers-Twins game.

Nonetheless, expect this one to potentially be delayed for a brief period.
PITCHING MATCHUP: Brewers LH Gio Gonzalez (2-1, 2.39 ERA) vs. Twins RH Michael Pineda (4-3, 5.43)
Gonzalez suffered his first defeat of the season last time out, allowing three runs on three hits and as many walks in five innings against Cincinnati. The 33-year-old Floridian permitted a total of four runs in his first four turns before the loss but has yet to complete six frames this year. C.J. Cron is 2-for-3 with a homer versus Gonzalez, who is 3-3 with a 6.43 ERA in eight career starts against the Twins.
Pineda has strung together three straight quality starts and won his last two, yielding three runs each against the Los Angeles Angels and Seattle. The 30-year-old Dominican, who owns a 44-44 career record, has served up 10 homers in his last five starts but issued only two walks in his last three turns. Mike Moustakas is 7-for-18 with two homers, two doubles and a triple against Pineda, who never has faced Milwaukee.
