This has already been a trip that the Royals will remember for a long time.

After arriving in Toronto, a player jumped in and took the wheel after a chunk of ice smashed the windshield of the team bus, and a game was postponed because of a hole in the roof of the Rogers Centre.

Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays will be something new, too. It will be the first time a Royals broadcast will be shown only on Facebook. Fox Sports Kansas City will not carry the game.

Here are a few things to know about the broadcast and how to watch the game.

  • First pitch: 3:07 p.m.

  • Announcers: Scott Braun of the MLB Network will do play-by-play. Former Royals pitcher Jeremy Guthrie and former Expos star Cliff Floyd also will be analysts, and Alexa Datt will work as an in-game reporter.
