MINNEAPOLIS -- The Houston-Minnesota game was postponed Wednesday by persistent rain that started in the third inning and was forecast to last throughout the night.Major League Baseball made the decision after a 2+-hour delay. The game will be played Thursday night in the second half of a doubleheader, following the regularly scheduled game.That means the 5-0 lead the Twins took off Dallas Kuechel has vanished. After Brian Dozier hit a leadoff home run, the Twins tagged the 2015 American League Cy Young Award winner with four more runs in the second before the skies opened up 53 minutes into the game and the customers hurried for cover.Conveniently, this was the night white umbrellas designed to look like baseballs were given away to the first 10,000 fans.The Astros let Kuechel down with errors by third baseman Alex Bregman and shortstop Carlos Correa, leading to two unearned runs while the Twins sent 10 batters to the plate in the second inning as dark clouds rolled in and lightning flashed in the distance.Twins starter Ervin Santana left the mound with a disappointed look with one out and a big lead in the third as the umpires waved the players off the field and the grounds crew hustled to retrieve the tarp.Kuechel was coming off a three-hit shutout, another sign he was getting back in a groove after a rough start to the season.Dozier homered for the second straight night. It would have been No. 24 and it would have been the 14th leadoff home run of his career.TRAINERS ROOMAstros: RHP Luke Gregerson, who started the season as the closer, threw an aggressive bullpen session without trouble for his strained left oblique muscle. Hes eligible Friday to come off the DL, but manager A.J. Hinch said the decision has not yet been made. The team could have Gregerson throw again before activating him.Twins: RHP Trevor May was placed on the DL before the game with a lower back strain, an aggravation of an injury that has hampered him all season. The move was made retroactive to Sunday for May, who missed 23 games earlier due to lower back spasms. May, who has a 4.89 ERA in 42 1/3 innings and leads relievers with 59 strikeouts, will see a specialist Thursday for further evaluation. I know hes been trying to pitch through it a little bit, which doesnt make a lot of sense, said manager Paul Molitor, who had a long talk with May before the game.TRY AGAINTwins rookie RHP J.T. Chargois, who was recalled from Triple-A Rochester to fill in for May, has returned for redemption with his 67.50 ERA. In his major league debut June 11 against Boston, Chargois gave up five runs while recording only two outs.Chargois, who was picked for the All-Star Futures Game, had a 1.29 ERA with 41 strikeouts in 35 innings for Rochester.I wanted to pick up where I left off, he said. I wanted to prove that was a mistake.UP NEXTThe Astros will send RHP Doug Fister (10-7, 3.47 ERA) to the mound for one game Thursday. He has allowed only one run over 12 innings in two August starts. Rookie RHP Jose Berrios (2-2, 8.31 ERA) will pitch one game for the Twins, his third turn since being called up for his second stint in the majors.Hydro Flask Wholesale .
