NEW YORK -- Tonight's game between the Twins and Yankees has been postponed because of rain. No makeup date has been announced, though it does sound like it will be sometime in September.

The Twins will have Francisco Liriano start Thursday's series finale with the Yankees, keeping him on normal rest. Carl Pavano, who was slated to pitch tonight, will now start Friday's home opener against Oakland.
