KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The game between the Tampa Bay Rays and Royals scheduled for Monday night was postponed about an hour before the first pitch as tornado sirens blared across the Kansas City metro area.
The four-game series is the only time the teams meet at Kauffman Stadium this season, so they will make the game up with a day-night doubleheader Tuesday.
Game 1 will be at 1:10 p.m. and Game 2 at 7:10 p.m.
Royals manager Ned Yost decided to start Chris Young in the opener and put Edinson Volquez, his scheduled starter for Monday night, on the mound in the nightcap.
