are bidding to become the first team in LCS history to win a
series after dropping the first two games at home.
Baltimore left-hander Wei-Yin Chen and Royals righty Jeremy
Guthrie were scheduled to square off Monday and are expected to
keep their spots in the rotation for Tuesday’s start.
"I know it's disappointing, but in this scenario we want a game
we know we can get through nine innings, hopefully play dry
baseball, not risk player safety or uncomfortable fans," Major
League Baseball’s senior vice president of baseball operations
Peter Woodfork told reporters. "It's a big day for Kansas City,
a big day for Major League Baseball, but we'll have to delay it
until (Tuesday)."
