Drake Baldwin Blasts Mammoth HR Before Rain Halts Giants-Braves
Drake Baldwin hit his 14th homer of the season before rain stopped play in the second inning, and MLB.com later listed the game as delayed.
The San Francisco Giants and Atlanta Braves suspended Tuesday's game at Truist Park due to rain, with the Giants leading 3-2 in the second inning; play resumes Wednesday at 2 p.m. ET.
Despite a forecast flagging a 56% chance of precipitation, play continued as scheduled until umpires paused the game at approximately 8 p.m. EDT.
In the first inning, Atlanta Braves catcher Drake Baldwin launched a 473-foot home run, while the San Francisco Giants countered with three runs, including a sacrifice fly from Jung Hoo Lee.
Meanwhile, Atlanta Braves outfielder Michael Harris II exited the game with lower-back tightness, as fans and media criticized the lack of an official delay announcement.
Wednesday's action includes a day-night doubleheader, with the suspended game resuming at 2 p.m. and the regularly scheduled game beginning at 7:15 p.m.
