Twins-Pirates game in Bradenton rained out

BRADENTON, Fla. (AP) — The spring training game between the Minnesota Twins and Pittsburgh Pirates on Saturday was rained out.

Twins manager Paul Molitor had no complaints.

"It's been a great spring," he told reporters. "The weather has been great."

Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said the club's pitching plans "will stay right in line" despite the weather. Left-hander Jon Niese threw an extended bullpen session indoors, as did left-handed reliever Eric O'Flaherty, a candidate for the final spot in the Pirates' bullpen.

Twins left-hander Tommy Milone returned to Fort Myers to pitch in a simulated game.
