The Cardinals and Royals had rain in the middle of the 9th inning, and had to finish the game at 4 AM EST. This happened right after the Royals scored 3 runs in the 9th to take a 4-3 lead.

They couldn't suspend the game because of a rule that states games can't be suspended if two teams aren't scheduled to play again the rest of the season. If they weren't able to complete the game tonight, the score would have reverted to the end of the last full inning, wiping out the Royals' 3 runs for a 2-1 Cardinals win. That rule is beyond terrible.
