A scheduled Giants–Braves game in Atlanta is rained out for the second time in the series, leaving the teams with only one game played during their four days in the city. Multiple reports say persistent rain and the threat of a tropical storm arriving Thursday afternoon lead to the cancellation of the latest contest in the three-game set.
The teams are expected to play a makeup game on Aug. 31 in Atlanta. Reports indicate the makeup will be scheduled with a first pitch time that has been set for that date, following the postponement of Thursday’s game. With weather continuing to affect the series, the cancellation means the remaining results from the originally scheduled games will be handled through the later rescheduling.
Both outlets describe the same sequence: the Giants and Braves spend several days in Atlanta, only one game is completed, and then another matchup is stopped due to rain as a stronger storm system approaches. The Aug. 31 date is presented as the planned resolution for the postponed game.
