Snowstorm wipes out rest of White Sox-Twins series

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 Saturday and Sunday games against the Sox 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. The teams opened the series Thursday with a chilly but dry 4-0 Twins victory.

Four of the Sox's first 16 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 dates for any of the games. 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 turn 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.
