No baseball at Busch Stadium on Wednesday, May 4, 2025; the Royals-Cardinals game was postponed because of poor weather.

Overview

  • Inclement weather and a tornado warning forced Wednesday’s game at Busch Stadium to be postponed.
  • The doubleheader kicks off Thursday at 12:45 p.m. CT with the originally scheduled night game to follow at 6:45 p.m., and fans can use their Wednesday tickets for Game 1.
  • The Royals, fresh off a 10-7 win in Tuesday’s series opener, will debut top prospect Jac Caglianone in right field during one of the games.
  • Rookie Noah Cameron moves into a Thursday start while Cole Ragans returns from the 15-day injured list to anchor the nightcap.
  • The Cardinals, losers in three of their last four games, expect lefty Matthew Liberatore to fill one of the postponed-start slots in their rotation.
