Royals vs. Dodgers game delayed due to rain Sunday 6/29/25

UPDATE (2:15pm E.T.): The Kansas City Royals officially announced they intend to have all tarps off and teams ready to play ball at 2:10pm CST/3:10pm EST.


Sunday afternoon’s end-of-series matchup between the Twins and the Seattle Mariners will be delayed due to rain and inclement weather in the greater Kauffman Stadium area.

The game was originally scheduled for a 1:10 p.m. EST start, but a new start time is yet to be announced.

The Dodgers roll into Kauffman Stadium today eager to erase the sting of yesterday’s 9-5 loss, snapping their five-game win streak and exposing cracks in their bullpen. At 52-32, Los Angeles still owns the swagger of an elite team, with Shohei Ohtani’s 29 bombs and Freddie Freeman’s 21 doubles fueling one of baseball’s most dangerous lineups.

Kansas City, sitting at 39-44, finally found daylight with that win, ending a brutal six-game slide and flashing the spark that made them dangerous earlier in the season. Bobby Witt Jr. continues to terrorize pitchers with his blend of speed and pop, while Maikel Garcia’s steady bat gives the Royals life at the top. Both teams are hungry, both teams know what’s at stake—and with two powerful lineups and suspect bullpens, this game is going to be one of the best on Sunday afternoon’s slate.

That is, whenever it starts. More here as we get updates from the teams.
