why is the royals game delayed

The Royals game is delayed due to inclement weather, specifically rain or thunderstorms. The decision to delay or postpone the game is made to ensure player and fan safety, often before rain actually begins falling, based on weather forecasts and conditions near the ballpark. This has happened multiple times recently with Royals games, such as the postponement against the Guardians due to thunderstorms and delays due to rain in other series. Rescheduled games often become part of doubleheaders on later dates. The Royals organization actively monitors weather and communicates updates accordingly.
