Fans hoping to see Kansas City Royals sensation Jac Caglianone record his first major league hit will have to wait an extra day.

The St. Louis Cardinals announced Wednesday that due to inclement weather in the area, Wednesday’s game against the Royals has been postponed. Instead, it will be made up as part of a split doubleheader on Thursday, June 5.

The Royals (32-29) took the first of the three-game set on Tuesday night, defeating the Cardinals 10-7 behind the bat of Royals shortstop Bobby Witt Jr., who finished 2-for-4 with a home run and 4 RBIs. Heralded Royals prospect Jac Caglianone, in what was his MLB debut, went 0-for-5 and was robbed of an extra base hit in his first major league at bat by Cardinals centerfielder Victor Scott II.

St. Louis (33-27) was led by Alec Burleson and Nolan Gorman, who each slugged two-run home runs in the loss. The Cardinals are 81-58 all-time against their I-70 rivals, however they’ve lost the last two games.

Game 1 on Thursday will begin at 12:45 p.m. CT, with gates opening at 11:15 a.m. Cardinals veteran Miles Mikolas (4-2, 3.90 ERA) is expected to take the mound against Royals’ rookie Noah Cameron (2-1, 1.05 ERA).
