MINNEAPOLIS — Optimistic Minnesota Twins fans can now secure their tickets for the 2024 postseason.

Playoff tickets went on sale at 10 a.m. Monday on the Twins' website. Only ticket packages will be on offer Monday — single-game tickets will go on sale Wednesday at 10 a.m.

With 13 games remaining, the Twins sit at 79-70, which puts them 6.5 games back in the AL Central and 2.5 games ahead in the Wild Card race. They've gone 6-8 so far in September, with a four-game series against the division-leading Cleveland Guardians starting Monday night. They also have a three-game series coming up against the Baltimore Orioles, currently in pole position in the AL Wild Card race.

The Twins have a borderline top-10 offense this season, ranking 11th in runs per game, 10th in homers hit and ninth in on-base plus slugging percentage as a team. On the other side of the ball, their pitching is bottom 10 in ERA and just above league average in runs allowed per game.

Stars Carlos Correa and Byron Buxton recently returned from the injured list, but neither player is fully healthy yet, manager Rocco Baldelli said. The Twins are managing their playing time, preserving them for the final stretch and a possible playoff run.

If the Twins hold onto their playoff spot, they'll be seeking to build on last year's run, which saw the team get their first postseason win in 19 years and first series win in 21. After sweeping the Toronto Blue Jays in the Wild Card round, Minnesota lost to the Houston Astros in four games in the Division Series.
