The Royals welcome the Atlanta Braves to Kauffman Stadium on Monday night. KC left-hander Rich Hill (0-1, 1.80 ERA) will make his second MLB start of the season opposite right-handed Braves ace Spencer Strider (4-8, 3.72 ERA).

Noah Cameron pitched five scoreless innings, Maikel Garcia hit a home run and the host Kansas City Royals beat the Cleveland Guardians on July 27.

After exchanging farewell hugs with his now former D’backs teammates, Grichuk brimmed with anticipation on his way to the airport. He was joining the Royals ahead of Sunday’s series finale against the Cleveland Guardians at Kauffman Stadium. He was embarking on a new path.

Cleveland is 52-52 overall and 27-27 in road games. The Guardians have a 27-10 record in games when they did not give up a home run. The teams meet Sunday for the ninth time this season. The Guardians lead the season series 5-3.

When the Kansas City Royals host the Cleveland Guardians in the rubber match of a three-game series on Sunday afternoon, both teams will have plenty on their minds.

The club announced that Friday's series opener was postponed due to inclement weather. Heavy rains arrived around 5:10 p.m. Central and both teams were notified that the game will be rescheduled as a part of a split doubleheader on Saturday.
