"It's scorching hot, and they are losing," Rick Gessler said.
Inside the stadium, vendors drenched in perspiration sold cold beverages even though the Twins were giving away water for free. Long lines of people waited for water.
"I can usually handle the heat pretty well, but not today," said one woman standing in the water line.
As the sun beat down on empty seats, many fans tried to stay cool in the shade of the concourse, but even there, it was hot.
The Gesslers gave it one last hurrah before heading for the lake.
As they left Target Field, they shouted: "Go Twins!"
