The San Francisco Giants (29-43) at Atlanta Braves (46-25) game on Tuesday was called due to rain and the game will be part of a split doubleheader on Wednesday June 17th. The first game of the double dip will start at 11:00am PDT with the night cap to start at 4:15pm PDT.

Despite threatening weather and even a flood watch forecasted later in the week this game got underway. After a disappointing weekend, the Giants got a very productive start in the first inning of this game.

Luis Arraez got the first hit of the game, a double, followed by a Bryce Eldridge single. With two runners on base, Rafael Devers walked and San Francisco had the bases loaded. Jung Hoo Lee sacrificed to center and Arraez scored giving the Giants the first run and lead of the game 1-0.

That lead for San Francisco did not last long. The Braves first at bat Drake Baldwin knocked a home run to center to tie up the game at one apiece.

Michael Harris II singled followed by a Dominic Smith walk and Atlanta had two runners on base with two outs. Mauricio Dubon singled Harris II home to take a 2-1 lead. The Giants were able to get out of the inning without further damage.

This game went into the top of the second inning starting off with a Schmitt single, Drew Gilbert walked and with one out the Giants had two runners on base. Arraez singled and once again, San Francisco had the bases loaded.

The Braves walked Schmitt home and this game was tied at two. Chapman sacrificed and Gilbert scored to give San Francisco a 3-2 lead going into the bottom of the second inning.

This game attempted to get a bottom of the second in the books but the weather refused to cooperate and this game was delayed withl a rainy forecast for the next few hours. Houser took the mound ready to get the inning started with Mike Yastrzemski at the plate and the game was at first delayed and finally suspended.

In a suspended game play will not continue Tuesday and is officially halted and resumed at a later date from the exact point of the suspension; in this game the bottom of the second inning with the Giants leading 3-2.

It is now a wait and see how this game will be made up and with an even greater chance for rain Wednesday it is unclear how this series will play out. The rain is expected in the early morning hours Wednesday with cloudy and partial sun through the late morning and into the afternoon through the evening hours. Tuesday’s game will be part of a split doubleheader on Wednesday.

Starting pitchers for the front game which will resume in the second inning for San Francisco RHP Adrian Houser (2-6 ERA 5.73) for Atlanta RHP Grant Holmes (4-2 ERA 4.33) first pitch 11:00AM PDT.

Starting pitchers for the second game: For San Francisco TBA for Atlanta JR Ritchie (1-1 ERA 3.82) first pitch 4:15pm PDT.
