Minnesota Sports- The Yankees and Twins had their game suspended by rain at Target Field. The game was scoreless through five innings when play was halted for good. The contest will resume where it left off Wednesday at 4:05 p.m. It's the Twins first suspended game since 1981.
MINNEAPOLIS - The Yankees and Twins had their game suspended by rain at Target Field. The game was scoreless through five innings when play was halted for good. The contest will resume where it left off Wednesday at 4:05 p.m. It's the Twins first suspended game since 1981.
New York starter A.J. Burnett allowed three hits and two walks through five innings, with five strikeouts. Minnesota starter Scott Baker surrendered three hits, one walk and struck out two in five innings of work. Denard Span has two of the Twins' hits.
Fans who had tickets to last night's suspended game are out of luck today. Major League Baseball rules state that rain checks and/or refunds are not available for any regulation or suspended game if five innings have been completed. Therefore only fans with tickets to tonight's regularly-scheduled game at 6:10 p.m. will be admitted into Target Field to watch the resumption of last night's suspended game set to start at 4:05 p.m. Gates open at Target Field today at 3 p.m. The regularly-scheduled game will start no sooner than 6:10 p.m. If the suspended game lasts beyond 5:40 p.m., then the regularly-scheduled game will begin 30-minutes after the completion of the suspended game.
