With Aaron Judge getting at least the start of the night off, the Yankees struggled to do much without him before scrapping a run across.
KANSAS CITY — With Aaron Judge resting for the first time this season, the Yankees’ season finale against the Royals on Thursday night was moving along quickly with no one scoring through five innings. Then it started raining while the Yankees mounted a sixth-inning rally and the game was stopped at 7:59 p.m., Central time.

Aaron Judge has hit the third-longest homer in the majors this season in the first inning of the Yankees' game against the Royals.
It’s Thursday, June 12 and the Yankees (41-25) are in Kansas City to take on the Royals (34-34). Will Warren is slated to take the mound for New York against Seth Lugo for Kansas City.
When Judge teed off on a 2-0, 94.3-mph fastball from Royals rookie left-hander Noah Cameron that was almost center cut below the belt, Yankees manager Aaron Boone sped from his dugout perch to make sure he had a great look.
Aaron Judge wasted no time making his introduction to the Kansas City Royals fans at Kauffman Stadium on Tuesday evening. During the top of the first inning, Judge also introduced himself to Royals starter Noah Cameron, taking the first hittable pitch he saw and obliterating it for a 469-foot home run that nearly left the stadium.
