The Giants\u2019 series-opening game against the Atlanta Braves at Truist Park on Tuesday was suspended due to inclement weather.<\/p>\n

With rain coming down and infield conditions deteriorating, the game was halted after the top of the second inning with the Giants leading 3-2. After a nearly two-hour delay, the decision was made to suspend the game and resume it on Wednesday at 2 p.m. (ET). The second game of the series is set to begin at its regularly scheduled time of 7:15 p.m. (ET).<\/p>\n

With the split doubleheader, the Giants will be allowed to add another player to the roster, likely a pitcher, for the second game. The Sacramento River Cats, the Giants\u2019 Triple-A affiliate, are in Oklahoma City.<\/p>\n

Rain pelted the ballpark during Tuesday\u2019s game as the Giants built a lead on RBIs from Matt Chapman, Bryce Eldridge, and Jung Hoo Lee. The delay began at roughly 8 p.m. (ET) before the bottom of the second inning, when groundskeepers began work to make the infield more playable.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were out there for a long time, just because no one wanted to make a rash decision,\u201d Giants manager Tony Vitello said. \u201cI didn\u2019t have much say, obviously, but those guys got experience with this stuff, and they mentioned it was kind of one of the stickier situations, or more difficult in-between type situations. But I think as it started to rain harder and harder, the answer was kind of there.\u201d<\/p>\n

Giants starting pitcher Adrian Houser allowed two earned runs in the first inning, including a 473-foot solo shot \u2013 the longest homer in the majors this season \u2013 to center field by Braves catcher Drake Baldwin that tied the game 1-1. Houser threw 29 pitches, but his night was done after the long delay.<\/p>\n

Robbie Ray will be on the mound once game one of the series resumes.<\/p>\n

Ray was scheduled to start Wednesday\u2019s game for the Giants against Braves righty JR Ritchie. But Vitello on Tuesday night hinted that those plans might change, and now Ray will be out there for the resumption of the suspended game.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

It remains unknown who will start for the Giants in the second game.<\/p>\n

Landen Roupp is slated to face Braves righty Mart\u00edn P\u00e9rez on Thursday at 7:15 p.m.<\/p>\n

There is a chance for more rain on Wednesday and Thursday. According to forecasts, there is a 24% chance of precipitation on Wednesday night and a 73% chance on Thursday.<\/p>\n
