It's rained most of the day here, and there's more rain in the forecast tonight. So the Twins-White Sox game scheduled for tonight has been postponed.

The game will be made up as a traditional doubleheader Saturday. First pitch is scheduled for 3:10 p.m. The second game, they are saying, will start about 20 minutes after the end of the first game.

Half the team was already at U.S. Cellular Field for early workouts and are returning to the team hotel. Players who were at the hotel and now headed out for lunch. A couple were talking about hitting The North Face to buy coats, because the temperature is in the 50's.

Other players are making plans for an unexpected afternoon off. Just ran into Oswaldo Arcia's agent, who's setting up a trip to the Shedd Aquarium for Arcia and some teammates.

Fox Sports North has announced that both games will be televised,

Not sure about the order of the pitchers for tomorrow's game. Trying to track down pitching coach Rick Anderson for that.

MILONE HAS SORE NECK

Lefthander Tommy Milone has had his start on Saturday pushed back to Monday because of a sore neck.

Milone came down with the soreness after playing catch on Tuesday. Logan Darnell will start game two on Saturday.

If Milone can't go on Monday, the Twins might start Anthony Swarzak and have the bullpen on high alert.
