WATCH Twins vs. Yankees Live Stream Online: Free MLB 2015 Game 1 Coverage

Baseball's back for the official 2015 MLB season, and things are getting heated!

The Minnesota Twins take the field against the New York Yankees in Week 20 of the regular season on Monday, August 17 at 7:05 p.m. EST at beloved Yankee Stadium in the Bronx. Read on to see where fans can watch and listen to a live stream of the Game 1 evening ballgame online - also catch up-to-date feeds and coverage on highlight plays and scores.

New York snags a rather high standing in ESPN.com's official break-down of all 30 teams (power rankings), while Minnesota still lags a few spots behind:

Twins (17): "Winning games on the road has been tough for the Twins, who are 21-34 away from Target Field. That's why their 10-game AL East road trip that gets underway Monday will be a huge test as they try to hang in the wild-card race." Nick Nelson, Twins Daily 

Minnesota currently maintains a 59-58 winning record, and is now 2nd in the American League Central Division.

Yankees (5): "After getting thumped handily by the Blue Jays two weekends ago and then losing two straight to the Indians last week, the Yankees found themselves suddenly out of first place. Two impressive wins over the Blue Jays this past weekend returned the Yanks back atop the AL East." Jason Rosenberg, It's About the Money 

With that, New York holds a steady 64-52 winning record and now remains 1st in the American League Eastern Division.

Tonight's ballgame will be broadcasted live on local sports channels WPIX and FSN.
