The Royals, mired in an eight-game losing streak and searching for a spark, received a brief reprieve Saturday.
The team’s scheduled 6:15 p.m. home game against the Minnesota Twins was postponed because of rain. The Royals and Twins will make up the game as part of a split doubleheader on Saturday, July 1.
The first game will begin at 1:15 p.m., as originally scheduled. The second, rescheduled, game will start at 7:35 p.m.
The Royals will conclude a rain-shortened series against the Twins at 1:15 p.m. Sunday at Kauffman Stadium. Royals starter Jason Hammel, scheduled to pitch on Saturday, will face off against Twins starter Phil Hughes.
