Giants-Braves rain delay updates: Games suspended

UPDATE: The Braves suspended the game. It will resume on Wednesday at 2 p.m. ET.

The Braves officially announced the delay at 9 p.m. ET but that was well after the delay began. It was closer to 8 p.m. when the teams stopped playing.

At least they finally sent a message, though it didn't include any new information. All we know is the game is on pause.

According to Mark Bowman, the hope is to resume at 10 p.m. ET. However, that is not official.

UPDATE: There should be healthy skepticism about that 10 p.m. start time as the big tarp is now on the field.

UPDATE: As expected, 10 p.m. has arrived without

Weather report from Truist Park

There is a 55 percent chance of rain at 10 p.m., according to Accuweather. That drops to 39 percent by 11 p.m.

At the very least, the rain seems to have stopped or lightened up. That doesn't mean play will resume promptly. The grounds crew may have a lot of work to do on the diamond.

When they do get going again, the Braves will have Mike Yastrzemski at the plate. He was due to face Adrian Houser, but given the length of the delay, it's doubtful the pitcher takes the mound again.

The Giants pulled ahead in the top of the second inning. Grant Holmes walked in a run to tie before giving up a sacrifice fly to give up the lead in pelting rain.

The Braves scored two in the bottom of the first, starting with Drake Baldwin's home run and ending with Mauricio Dubon's RBI single.

The Giants opened the scoring in the top of the first on a sacrifice fly by Jung Hoo Lee.
