The Minnesota Twins’ game against the Atlanta Braves had an early delay due to lightning in the area, but fans at Target Field were treated to a breathtaking night sky.

The Twins posted a photo of the reddish sky with lightning bolts over the outfield:

Unfortunately for the Twins, it was the Braves who received a power charge from the lightning up above. Atlanta followed up a four-run first inning with five more runs in the second to take a 9-1 lead over Minnesota.

Braves first baseman Matt Olson launched a three-run home run in the first and it a two-run double in the second. Catcher Travis d’Arnaud hit a two-run blast in the second as well.

This series is particularly important for both Minnesota and Atlanta, as both teams are clinging to the final wild-card spots in the American League and National League, respectively.

It looks like the Twins will need a recharge if they hope to hold onto their spot.
