Baseball's back for the official 2015 MLB season, and things are finally heating-up!

The Minnesota Twins take the field against the Houston Astros in Week 22 of the regular season on Friday, September 4 at 8:10 p.m. EST at Minute Maid Park in Texas. Read on to see where fans can watch and listen to a live stream of the final Game 1 evening ballgame online - also catch up-to-date feeds and coverage on highlight plays and scores.

While Minnesota maintain a rather neutral spot in ESPN.com's official break-down of all 30 professional teams (power rankings), Houston remains near the top:

Astros (7): "The Astros' streak of nine straight games allowing two runs are fewer - the first team to do that since the 1992 Pirates - was snapped on Friday, when they allowed three runs." David Schoenfield, SweetSpot 

Houston holds a steady 73-61 winning record and remains 1st in the American League Western Division.

Twins (14):Two more series wins against postseason contenders last week kept the Twins in the thick of the wild-card race. Young phenom Miguel Sano has smashed six homers and driven in 15 runs over his past 12 games to lead the charge." Nick Nelson, Twins Daily 

With that, Minnesota snags 69 wins and 64 losses and is now 2nd in the American League Central Division.

Friday night's ballgame will be broadcasted live on local sports channels MLBN, RTSW, and FSN.
