CLEVELAND (AP) — The game between the Kansas City Royals and AL Central-leading Cleveland Guardians on Wednesday night was postponed due to thunderstorms in the forecast. No rain had fallen at Progressive Field when the game was called off roughly two hours before its 6:40 p.m. start time. The Royals and Guardians had worked out before the tarp was placed on the infield. It will be made up as part of a split doubleheader on Aug. 26. Cleveland is 40-20 — matching the third-best start in franchise history — and owns the best home record in the majors at 21-7 under first-year manager Stephen Vogt. Kansas City is five games back in the division at 36-26.
