Introduction: Host Michael Rand starts with Monday's storm-interrupted 10-6 loss to Atlanta, the Twins' sixth setback in their last eight games. Bailey Ober has been terrific almost all year, but he gave up nine early runs before the skies opened up. The pressure will be on rookie Simeon Woods Richardson on Tuesday to get the Twins, who are suddenly in third place in the AL Central, back on track.

Rand also identified the four areas of the Vikings roster that he is most concerned about at the start of the season. Roster cutdowns are coming Tuesday, and Minnesota could use some depth in a few different areas.

14:00: Taylor Heise, Kelly Pannek and Nicole Hensley, all standouts from PWHL Minnesota's championship team this season, joined Rand on the Minnesota Star Tribune stage at the State Fair. They talked about the highs and lows of the season, what it means to be a pro hockey player and what they can do for a Year 2 encore.

37:00: Rand is back at the fair for a couple more interviews Tuesday. Come say hi.
