The Tampa Bay Rays open a three-game home series against the Minnesota Twins at Tropicana Field on Friday, April 24, with first pitch set for 7:10 p.m. Eastern. (mlb.com) The series continues Saturday, April 25, at 4:10 p.m. and wraps Sunday, April 26, at 1:40 p.m., all in St. Petersburg. (mlb.com) Friday’s game includes two ballpark promotions: a Jackie Robinson button-up available through a special ticket package, and the Rays’ “Devil Rays Fridays” throwback uniform night. (mlb.com) Saturday’s listed giveaway is a Tropicana Field Tour Tee presented by Morgan Automotive Group, and the club’s 2026 promotions page says giveaways are for the first 10,000 fans unless otherwise noted. (mlb.com) The weekend set lands early in the 2026 regular season, with the Rays’ official site showing Tampa Bay at 13-11 after Wednesday’s 6-1 win over Cincinnati. The Twins entered Thursday’s game at the New York Mets at 12-12, according to Major League Baseball’s probable pitchers page. (mlb.com; mlb.com) This is also part of the Rays’ first season back at Tropicana Field after the club said in February that its 2026 promotional schedule would highlight the team’s return to the ballpark. The team tied that return to venue-themed giveaways including the April 25 Tour Tee. (mlb.com) Fans looking for the Friday matchup can also find a same-day MLB video page for the probable pitchers, though the club’s main schedule remains the clearest source for game time and ticket access. (mlb.com; mlb.com) For this weekend, the draw is straightforward: three games in three days, one Friday theme night, one Saturday giveaway, and a Sunday afternoon finale under the Trop roof.
