Second consecutive White Sox-Twins game postponed due to snow

MINNEAPOLIS _ White Sox players had more fun with the weather Saturday, posting videos on social media around snow-covered Minneapolis and Target Field.

But baseball is still nowhere in sight.

The Twins postponed their second straight game against the Sox on Saturday morning because of a snowstorm that began Friday night and was expected to last at least 24 hours.

The Twins and Sox didn't play Friday, either, because of rain and snow, and Sunday's game is in jeopardy, depending on how much snow falls and when the storm ends. The teams opened the series Thursday with a chilly-but-dry 4-0 Twins victory.

Three of the Sox's first 15 scheduled games have been postponed.

"It's incredible that we are talking about snow in the middle of April," Sox manager Rick Renteria said Friday. "There's so much baseball left and a lot of people are dealing with it. We'll just keep working through it."

The Twins didn't announce makeup games for Friday or Saturday. The Sox return to Minneapolis for series June 5-7 and Sept. 28-30, their final three games of the season. They share an off day June 4 that could be used to make the next series into a four-game meeting. They also have mutual off days June 25, Aug. 20 and Sept. 6.

Sox right-handers Reynaldo Lopez and Miguel Gonzalez were scheduled to pitch Friday and Saturday, respectively. Lopez is now scheduled to pitch Sunday, and the rotation for the three-game series against the Athletics in Oakland, Calif., starting Monday is to be announced.
