KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The game scheduled for Friday night between the Tampa Bay Rays and Kansas City Royals was postponed because of rain.
To make it up, the teams will play a split doubleheader Saturday, with the opener starting at 1:10 p.m. and the nightcap beginning at 6:10 p.m.
Tyler Glasnow had been set to pitch for the Rays against Alec Marsh. Both were pushed back to Saturday's opener.
Glasnow hasn't received a decision since June 14 when Tampa Bay beat Oakland.
Tampa Bay right-hander Zach Eflin is slated to start the second game against Brady Singer.
Both teams get an extra day of rest coming out of the All-Star break.
In their final game before the break, the Rays beat Atlanta to stop a seven-game losing streak. They enter the second half with the best record in the American League at 58-35.
Kansas City is last in the AL Central at 26-65.
The game was called off about three hours prior to the scheduled first pitch after thunderstorms pelted the Kansas City area.
