Twins and Yankees suspended after 5 innings

MINNEAPOLIS — The first rain delay in Target Field history has given way to the first suspension.

Umpires suspended the game Tuesday night between the New York Yankees and the Minnesota Twins with the teams scoreless after five innings.

After a delay of one hour, 23 minutes, the game was suspended.

The game will resume in the top of the sixth inning on Wednesday at 4:10 p.m. Central time. The second game of the series will either begin at its regularly scheduled time of 6:10 p.m. or 30 minutes after the conclusion of the first game.

The Twins moved outdoors to Target Field this season after 28 years under the protective roof of the Metrodome. They have already had one game postponed — on May 7 against Baltimore. But this was the first time a game was suspended while in progress.
