MINNEAPOLIS (AP) The game between the Kansas City Royals and the Minnesota Twins was postponed because of rain on Saturday.

The game was scheduled to be made up as part of a split doubleheader on June 30.

The Royals, who won their third straight game Friday night after losing 12 in a row, were scheduled to send Bruce Chen (0-2) against Minnesota's Jason Marquis (1-0). The Twins have lost six in a row and are in last place in the AL Central.

Before the game, Royals manager Ned Yost said Chen would start Sunday if Saturday's game was washed out.
