Pirates vs. Twins Currently Delayed Because Somebody is Flying a Drone Over the Field
Rain delay? No.
No inclement weather in Minnesota, but the Twins and Pirates were pulled off the field in the top of the fifth inning this afternoon because somebody is flying a drone over the field:

A guy named Dan Hayes covers the Twins for The Athletic, and provided these updates:
There’s a drone flying outside the ballpark and the umpires pulled everyone off the field. If you’re the jackass flying the drone near the ballpark, this game is already taking long enough.
The drone was then hovering over the field. Players in the bullpen began to try and pelt it with baseballs. They missed. The drone appears to have disappeared into the Ramp A parking lot. That guy is totally getting arrested.
Outrageous. Can’t wait to see who the culprit is.
