CLEVELAND — The game between the Kansas City Royals and Cleveland Guardians on Wednesday night was postponed due to thunderstorms in the forecast.
No rain had fallen at Progressive Field when the game was called off roughly two hours before its 6:40 p.m. start time, but WKYC's radars showed rain moving in from the west. The Royals and Guardians had worked out before the tarp was placed on the infield.
The game will be made up as part of a split doubleheader on Aug. 26, starting at 1:10 p.m. The second game start time is 6:40 p.m.
Kansas City right-hander Brady Singer (4-2, 2.63 ERA) was scheduled to face Guardians right-hander Nick Sandlin (4-0, 2.77 ERA). Sandlin would've been Cleveland's "opener" with normal starter Logan Allen available out of the bullpen, but instead Allen will start Friday night for the club in Miami.
Royals manager Matt Quatraro said Singer will start the teams' series finale Thursday at 1:10 p.m. The Guards have confirmed Tanner Bibee (4-1, 3.74 ERA) will still start that game as previously scheduled.
