The St. Paul Saints, on the heels of the third snowiest winter in Minnesota, postponed Tuesday's International League home opener at CHS Field, which got nine inches of snow Friday and Saturday.

Instead, the opener against the Iowa Cubs will be Wednesday at 6:37 p.m. The postponed game will be part of a doubleheader against Iowa on Saturday beginning at 1:07 p.m.

The Saints opened the season by winning two of three games in Toledo.
