Tuesday's Cards-Royals game postponed; teams to play doubleheader Wednesday
ST. LOUIS (AP) — The opener of the I-70 series between the St. Louis Cardinals and the Kansas City Royals was postponed because of a forecast for severe weather and rescheduled as part of a day-night split doubleheader Wednesday.
Both games will air on FOX Sports Midwest.
The National Weather Service said there was a "threat for severe thunderstorms producing tornadoes, strong winds, large hail and additional flash flooding" Tuesday night.
Michael Wacha (3-1), who had been scheduled to start for St. Louis on Tuesday, will pitch the first game against Kansas City's Brad Keller (2-5).
Homer Bailey (4-4), the Royals' starter Tuesday, will pitch the night game against Adam Wainwright (3-4).
St. Louis has lost seven of 10 games. Kansas City won Sunday to stop a four-game losing streak.
Fans holding tickets to Tuesday night's game should use those same tickets for admittance to tomorrow’s 6:45 p.m. make-up game.
Gates will open at 10:45 a.m. for the first game and will reopen at 5:15 p.m. for the makeup game.
