What happened: Tuesday's series opener between the Atlanta Braves and San Francisco Giants was suspended due to rain in the bottom of the second inning. The game was paused for nearly two hours before officials determined it could not be completed on the scheduled night.

Why it matters: The suspension forces a Wednesday doubleheader, impacting pitching rotations for both clubs. San Francisco holds a 3-2 lead, but both starters—Adrian Houser and Grant Holmes—are unlikely to return after the long delay.

By the numbers: Score: Giants 3, Braves 2 (Bottom 2nd) | Drake Baldwin: 473-foot HR (Longest in 2026) | Michael Harris II: Exit (back tightness) | Resume: Wed 2:00 PM ET

What to watch: The suspended game will resume Wednesday afternoon, followed by the regularly scheduled series finale at 7:15 p.m. ET.
