Royals-Rockies get rain delay update as Kansas City, Colorado wait to take field image

The Kansas City Royals and Colorado Rockies don't play often.

They'll have to wait a bit to get their Wednesday night game underway.

The teams are officially in a rain delay, as of about 7:10 p.m. ET.

The game was slated to have a first pitch at 7:40 p.m. ET, but that time came and went with no baseball.

The Royals are coming off an exciting walk-off win that featured a Freddy Fermin walk-off hit on Tuesday night.

On Wednesday, a strong pitching matchup is on tap.

Kansas City is sending Michael Lorenzen to the mound. Colorado counters with German Marquez.

It's far from the most high profile game of Wednesday night.

The Royals enter proceedings at 10-14.

The Rockies have been putrid, just 4-18.

Somehow Colorado has been worse on the road. They're just 1-12 away from the friendly confines of Coors Field.
