That’s not why it was postponed though. It was postponed due to safety concerns and a potential riot forming in the area.

Reminds me of this game from the pre-COVID era that was noted as being "surreal" for having an empty stadium.
Wonder how they will manage the rest of the series.
I believe I mentioned before, but I was at the Freddie Gray riot game! Definitely a pretty terrifying experience. Due to the nature of this young mans death and the pretty stupid comment made by the Minnesota police saying they meant to taser him and accidentally shot him plus the ongoing George Floyd trial, I would be surprised if they allowed any fans at the games in this series and they might even postpone it with all that’s happening in Minnesota.
Postponed because of the shooting? Keep politics out of the sports world!!!!!

St. Peter says it's too early to tell what will happen with the rest of the series.
No discussion yet of moving the Twins-Red Sox series out of Minneapolis, says Dave St. Peter.
Twins president of baseball ops Derek Falvey says he discussed decision to postpone with Alex Cora and Chaim Bloom. Falvey said the Red Sox aren't staying in downtown Minneapolis.
