Braves-Red Sox start time: Braves rain delay in Boston on July 25

Braves rain delay updates for the Tuesday, July 25 game against the Red Sox in Boston with Fenway Park weather forecast and possible new start time. 

After the Atlanta Braves and Boston Red Sox split a two-game set at Truits Park in May, the two clubs were set to run it back in Fenway Park starting on Tuesday night, July 25, with another pair of games. Unfortunately, a rain delay caused the start of that not to happen.

The first pitch was initially slated for 7:10 p.m. ET between the two clubs, but inclement weather in the northeast that had been hanging around all day put, pardon the phrase, a damper on those plans. The Red Sox official Twitter account announced the delayed start time and said they’d provide further updates.

So when will the game between two of MLB‘s most famous (and currently hottest) teams get started? Let’s check in on the weather and what we know about the situation.

Braves rain delay update: Braves-Red Sox start time on July 25

Update, 8:30 p.m. ET: Good news! Despite inclement weather, first pitch is slated for 8:50 p.m. ET, as announced by the Red Sox.

Update, 8:00 p.m. ET: As of right now we don’t have an official Braves-Red Sox start time for the Tuesday contest. However, when you look at the Fenway Park weather, it’s not looking pretty.

Accuweather for Fenway Park in Boston has thunderstorms in the forecast with at least an 80% chance of rain until at least 10 p.m. ET. There is still a 40% chance of thunderstorms at 11 p.m. ET.

Though we can’t say for certain, the safe bet looking at the weather is that the Braves-Red Sox game will be postponed, either being played on Wednesday as part of a split doubleheader or, perhaps moving the series back a day with both teams having an off day for travel set for Thursday. The more likely option due to the travel is the doubleheader.

Let’s just hope we get to see these two teams play soon. The Braves and Red Sox have been two of baseball’s best as of late and, after Kenley Jansen recorded his 400th career save against his former team earlier in the season and with Boston trading Kiké Hernandez on Tuesday to the Dodgers, there is plenty of intrigue beyond the way the clubs are currently playing.
