The three-game set was supposed to be San Francisco’s only visit to Atlanta this season. But, both the Giants and Braves have an off day on Monday, Aug. 31, and the game will be made up that night. The Giants open a series at Pittsburgh the next night.
The Giants won the first two games of the series against the NL East-leading Braves. Both games were both completed Wednesday after Tuesday’s game was suspended in the second inning due to rain. The Giants won the suspended game 7-2 and beat Atlanta 7-5 in the regularly scheduled game.
