March 29, 2010 at 4:46PM

JUPITER, FLA. -- Today's game is being delayed by rain. They've announced a scheduled first pitch of 12:25 p.m. (Central).

Denard Span was going to play center field, but the Twins switched him to DH, to prevent injury on the wet grass.

Kevin Slowey, who has a 0.56 ERA this spring, makes his sixth start of the spring for the Twins. Albert Pujols and Matt Holliday are both in the lineup for the Cardinals.

The game will be televised on ESPN.
