WATCH Yankees vs. Twins Live Stream Online, Free MLB 2015 Game 1 Coverage

Baseball's back for the official 2015 MLB season!

The New York Yankees take the field against the Minnesota Twins in Week 16 of the regular season on Friday, July 24 at 8:10 p.m. EST at Target Field in Minneapolis. Read on to see where fans can watch and listen to a live stream of the Game 1 evening ballgame online - also catch up-to-date feeds and coverage on highlight plays and scores.

Both New York and Minnesota snag rather high spots in ESPN.com's official break-down of all 30 teams (power rankings):

Twins (8): "Fresh off closing out a second consecutive All-Star victory for the American League, Glen Perkins finally blew his first save of the season in Oakland on Saturday night. The Twins bullpen then gave up seven runs on Sunday, and could use some help with the trade deadline approaching." Nick Nelson, Twins Daily 

Minnesota currently maintains a 51-44winning record, and is now 2nd in the American League Central Division.

Yankees (7): "The Yankees look to start the second half the same way they finished the first half: on a strong note. They're also hoping to keep everyone (mainly Mark Teixeira, Alex Rodriguez and Masahiro Tanaka) as healthy as possible so they can win the AL East and end their two-year playoff drought." Stacey Gotsulias, It's About the Money 

With that, New York holds a steady 53-41 winning record and remains 1st in the American League Eastern Division. The Yanks just swept their series against the Baltimore Orioles earlier this week.

Tonight's ballgame will be broadcasted live on local sports channels YES and FSN.
