The San Francisco Giants’ scheduled game against the Atlanta Braves is postponed after an extended period of work to make the field playable following rain. Multiple outlets report that the delay lasts nearly two hours and is driven by grounds crew efforts to address a rain-soaked infield. According to accounts from the venues, more than two dozen groundskeepers work continuously for more than an hour, adding dry sod to key areas of the field, including the infield, the pitcher’s mound, and home plate. The delay is described as “unofficial,” indicating that play does not resume during the extended preparation period even as the crew continues working. The reporting characterizes the effort as intensive and sustained, involving large amounts of sod laid across the impacted areas. With the field still not ready for play, the game is ultimately postponed. The sources do not provide details here on the exact reason for the postponement beyond the condition of the field or on when the game will be rescheduled.
