Twins, Toronto game postponed; will be played Thursday

April 16, 2014 at 8:55PM

Persistent showers, and a forecast for more as the day goes on, have made Target Field too wet to play Wednesday's scheduled game between the Twins and Blue Jays, the team announced.

Since this is Toronto's only visit to Minnesota this season, the postponed game will be made up at 6:10 p.m. Thursday as part of a day/night doubleheader.

Thursday's regularly scheduled game will go on as scheduled at 12:10 p.m. The two games will require separate tickets to attend.

Both games will be televised. The opener will be on FSN and the second game will be on FSN Plus.

Kyle Gibson will pitch Game 1 for the Twins against R.A. Dickey; Mike Pelfrey, who was scheduled to start tonight, will pitch Game 2 against Dustin McGowan.

Most fans with tickets for tonight's game can either use them for Thursday night's second game or exchange them at the Twins box office for tickets to another game later this season, subject to availability. There are restrictions on certain types of tickets.

The exchange policy can be seen here.
