The St. Louis Cardinals’ home contest against the Kansas City Royals originally set for Wednesday evening has been rescheduled due to rain.
The matchup has been bumped to Thursday, now the opener of a split doubleheader. The originally scheduled Thursday game (6:45 p.m. CT) will occur as slated. Wednesday’s game will now take place as Game 1 Thursday, scheduled for 12:45 p.m. CT.
The Royals took Game 1 of the three-game series Tuesday night 10-7. The Cardinals won two of three games in Kansas City on May 16-18.
Kansas City was scheduled to start rookie left-hander Noah Cameron (2-1, 1.05 ERA) on Wednesday. He has pitched into the seventh inning in all four of his starts this season. Right-hander Miles Mikolas (4-2, 3.90 ERA) was to draw Wednesday’s start for St. Louis. He was 3-0 with a 3.08 ERA in five starts in May.
Starters for the early game haven’t been announced. The Royals have listed left-hander Cole Ragans (2-3, 4.53) as Thursday night’s starter against Cardinals lefty Matthew Liberatore (3-4, 3.08).
