MINNEAPOLIS (AP) The Chicago White Sox and Minnesota Twins have started their game after a 4-hour, 50-minute rain delay.
The Twins announced the wait to play Thursday was the longest in the team’s 57-year history in Minnesota. They played 28 seasons under a roof at the Metrodome. This is their eighth year at Target Field.
The first pitch of the series finale was thrown at 5 p.m.
The White Sox and Twins have a common off day Aug. 28, before their next series in Minnesota, but with radar showing the system eventually moving through team officials were determined to get the game in.
