Twins vs Blue Jays schedule: Dates, How to Watch, TV Channel & Live Stream for 2023 AL Wild Card games

The Toronto Blue Jays square off against the Minnesota Twins in the AL Wild Card Series. Despite having very similar records, the end of the season could not have gone differently for both teams.

As Minnesota won their division, the series will be played at Target Field in Minneapolis. Owing to the MLB's new format, this series will represent the "3 vs 6" series, as the Jays are the last-seeded AL team in the postseason.

The Twins clinched the AL Central title on Sept. 22 and end the season over 14 games ahead of the second-placed Guardians in their division.

Meanwhile, the Jays had to grind. After the Baltimore Orioles' meteoric rise in the AL East, the Jays' season came down to the final seires of the year. Thankfully, for fans in the Great White North, the team came up with clutch wins against the Tampa Bay Rays during their weekend set.
