Rain, rain go away! Friday’s game between the Atlanta Braves and St. Louis Cardinals will not start on time due to rain in the area of Truist Park. The tarp is currently on the field and the Braves have announced that there will be a delayed start. We will provide updates as soon as they become available.

Looks like the grounds crew is sweeping the water off the tarp so hopefully this won’t be too long of a delay.
Still some light rain falling at Truist Park, but it should be clearing out shortly.

The tarp is being removed from the field. Still no updated start time yet.
Proof that the tarp is coming off the field.

We are 40 minutes past start time and we are still waiting on an update.
It doesn’t look like we are any closer to a new start time.
