The #Royals beat the Blue Jays in a shortened game after umpires stopped the tarp from being used. @pgrathoff has the story... kansascity.com/sports/mlb/kan…
Cole Ragans picks up his first win of the season
After a 3 1/2 hour rain delay, much of it after the rain stopped, this game has been called. The Royals have defeated the Blue Jays 2-1.
Welp. We are nowhere nearer to knowing when this game will be restarted. But there field has lines on it again and appears to be ready.

There are rumblings that the Royals-Blue Jays game will start again at 6 p.m.
Tarp monster is stirring at Kauffman Stadium
The groundskeepers are back on the field. It looks like the tarp is about to be taken off the field here at Kauffman Stadium.
After delay in calling a rain delay, the umpires have indeed called a rain delay. The tarp is coming out.
Royals looking for answers. This is wild: the rain delay that wasn’t.
The Royals groundskeepers started rolling out the tarp when they were stopped by the umpires. Apparently, Blue Jays manager John Schneider asked the umps to let them keep playing and he got his wish.
And Isbel did it in the rain. Incredible play.
And Isbel did it in the rain. Incredible play.
The rain has picked up at Kauffman Stadium, but the Royals have a 2-1 lead heading to the bottom of the fifth inning, meaning we have achieved an official game.
Salvador Perez hits a two-run shot, giving Royals a 2-0 lead. Salvy now has 837 career RBIs, which ties him with Mike Sweeney for fifth-most in Royals history
Jaylon Thompson is on his way to Detroit where he'll be announcing the Falcons first-round draft pick, so I'll be providing updates from today's Royals-Jays game.
Royals have recalled right-handed Will Klein. Alec Marsh is headed to IL
You may have seen the #Royals starters huddle whenever one finishes their outing. Well, I was curious as to why. Here is a story of brotherhood and support among the starting rotation. kansascity.com/sports/mlb/kan…
Last night, the Royals quietly accomplished something almost literally unprecedented. - Their SP didn't go 5 IP - Their SP allowed 12 baserunners - They only scored 3 runs - They won The Cardinals, on 5/22/1949, are the only other team in MLB history to accomplish all 4 things.
Best Teams at Turning Grounders & Bunts Into Outs 1. Royals 2. Rangers 3. Mariners 4. Braves 5. Dodgers 6. Phillies 28. Twins 29. Mets 30. Reds
YES Network had every angle (and all the audio) from Aaron Boone’s ejection, but this is the money shot. Shows how Hunter Wendelstedt tossed Boone … because of a fan behind the dugout. To which Wendelstedt says: "I don't care who said it. You're gone."
The Royals scored eight runs in their previous four games. They have nine runs through seven innings tonight. #Baseball

Today marks five years as a @KCStar reporter. Grateful for all the stories I've gotten to tell and looking forward to the ones to come. Here's my latest — a rare one because it is NOT sad and sports-related!! kansascity.com/news/local/art…
#Royals starter Alec Marsh exits game after being hit by a line drive in the 5th inning. The baseball apparently hit Marsh in the forearm area. Angel Zerpa is on to pitch out of the bullpen.
Thanks to the crew @BallySportsKC for the shoutout last night. Busted in mid-imbibe, but enjoyed a great game with the fam, including our daughter, @itsrachswan (pictured).
You know what is crazy… that’s actually Alex Gordon swinging 🤣
@TheRealHos305 @MattStrahm Love seeing one of my all time Royals collecting! Need more Hosmer cards tbh.
Attendance tonight for Bark at the Park night at The K: 11,357 people and 499 dogs. Should have brought Harry to be dog No. 500😕
Special moment sharing a desk with my friend @ChrisWittyngham today at @CBSSportsGolazo. Couldn’t help but think of the late great Grant Wahl, who unknowingly was the genesis of our friendship. It was their podcast that caused me to reach out to Witty just over a year ago…
Support local journalism!
Hey @anne__rogers I will buy a subscription to the Star if you do some digging on why the Royals insist on running that contact play despite having little to no success with it
Brad Pitt was a very good Billy Beane, mannerisms and all. The only and probably biggest negative is they barely, if at all, mentioned starting pitchers Tim Hudson, Mark Mulder and Barry Zito, who were really the reason they were in the hunt at the end.
Since @ColeRagans joined the @Royals, he has 118 K's thru 16 starts...since 1961, only SIX left handers have 118+ K's thru their 1st 16 GS w/ a club: Catch Cole and the #Royals tonight at The K as he squares off against 2021 NL Cy Young winner, Corbin Burnes. #WelcomeToTheCity
Was too busy hitting grounders to 2nd in the show. I’m on it now for sure! When does UF play next ?
@TheRealHos305 It's the best product in college athletics. Should've been watching a long time ago

@reggis4va93 @pgrathoff Still salty after being swept in October, 2014. Thanks for playing.
