Weather Delay Briefly Halts Diamondbacks-Braves Matchup
ATLANTA – The highly anticipated game between the Arizona Diamondbacks and the Atlanta Braves at Truist Park faced a weather-related delay on Wednesday. Initially slated for a 4:15 p.m. start, the game was pushed back due to inclement conditions, resuming play at 5:20 p.m.
As fans awaited updates, the Atlanta Braves communicated via their Twitter account, "The start of tonight’s game will be delayed due to weather. We will provide updates as soon as they are available."
The Diamondbacks entered the matchup on a high note after a commanding 8-3 victory in the series opener on Tuesday. Key players Zac Gallen, who delivered an impressive seven-inning performance with only one earned run, and offensive stars Corbin Carroll and Ketel Marte, who each contributed two home runs, were instrumental in the win. Carroll’s three-run homer in the ninth inning also allowed Arizona to rest closer Justin Martinez.
Tonight’s game featured a notable pitching clash, with Arizona’s right-hander Merrill Kelly facing off against Atlanta’s lefty Chris Sale, the 2024 NL Cy Young Award winner. Sale had previously pitched five innings with just one earned run against the D-backs on April 25, while Kelly had a solid outing against the Braves, allowing two earned runs over six innings on April 26.
