The start of Friday's series opener between the Mets and Royals in Kansas City has been delayed due to inclement weather.

First pitch was originally scheduled for 8:10 p.m. but will now take place at 9:30 p.m.

When the action gets underway, New York will be looking to bounce back after being swept by the Baltimore Orioles in a doubleheader on Thursday.

Kodai Senga takes the mound for the Mets, making his return from the injured list.

The right-hander was a bit shaky during his lone rehab appearance, but he had been pitching spectacularly prior to suffering the hamstring injury, posting a 1.47 ERA across 13 outings.

He'll be opposed by former Met Michael Wacha, who has pitched to a 3.83 ERA on the season.

Kansas City's pitching staff has been tremendous on the year, but Wacha has dropped his last three outings, allowing a total of 12 runs over that span.

The game can be seen on SNY.
