Diamondbacks and Royals game delayed by heavy rain

The scheduled series finale between the Arizona Diamondbacks and the Kansas City Royals at Kauffman Stadium has been delayed due to heavy rain. While the game was originally set for an earlier start, the first pitch was rescheduled for 7:30 p.m. Central Time.

The Diamondbacks enter the matchup following two extra-inning victories in Kansas City. Arizona is currently in the midst of a playoff race, holding a 78-68 record and sitting second in the NL West. Zac Gallen is expected to start for Arizona, while Daniel Lynch is slated to pitch for the Royals.

Both teams have a scheduled off day on Thursday. If the weather delay prevents the game from being completed, there is a possibility that the off day could be converted into a makeup game day.
