Royals

 The teams have faced off exactly 100 times to date, with the Cardinals winning 59 times. The Redbirds' .590 winning percentage in the series is the highest all-time among interleague matchups that have seen at least 100 meetings.

 The Royals are last among AL teams in road wins (six) and winning percentage away from home (.273; 6-16). Miami (4-14) is the only MLB team with a worse road record. KC has lost all seven road series the team has played; every other MLB team has earned at least a split of a road series in 2019.

 St. Louis went 18-7 last month, pitching to a 4.12 ERA; the team is 5-13 in May with a 4.68 ERA. In April, the Cards scored 5.56 runs per game, batting .271 with an .800 OPS. This month, the team is scoring 4.39 runs per contest, batting .241 with an OPS of .700.

 Paul DeJong is tied with Washington's Anthony Rendon for the NL lead in doubles with 17. Only four times since 1970 has a Cardinal led the NL outright in doubles: 1979 (Keith Hernandez), 2003 (Albert Pujols), 2013 (Matt Carpenter) and 2015 (Carpenter).

 Jorge Soler has struck out 61 times in KC's 47 games this season, tied for third most in the majors. This is already the second most ever by a Royal through the team's 50th game of a season; Bo Jackson fanned 64 times in the Royals' first 50 games in 1987.

 Since the start of the 2012 season, the Cardinals are tied for second in MLB in regular-season winning percentage at .555; Kansas City is 21st at .489. Yet the Royals have won the state of Missouri's only World Series title in that span, taking the crown in 2015.

ST. LOUIS (AP)  The opener of the I-70 series between the St. Louis Cardinals and the Kansas City Royals was postponed because of a forecast for severe weather and rescheduled as part of a day-night doubleheader on Wednesday.
The National Weather Service said there was a ''threat for severe thunderstorms producing tornadoes, strong winds, large hail, and additional flash flooding'' on Tuesday night.
