Braves-Dodgers game plays into Sunday morning following three-hour rain delay

ATLANTA, Ga. (Atlanta News First) – Saturday night’s scheduled game between the Atlanta Braves and the Los Angeles Dodgers began on Saturday and ended on Sunday. Those who stayed for the game were on their way home past 1:30 a.m.

Braves right-hander Spencer Schwellenbach was set to face Dodgers Japanese sensation Roki Sasaki at 7:15 p.m., but severe storms soaked Truist Park on Saturday night, prompting the game to start at 10:21 p.m. and end close to 1:30 a.m.

The storms came after similar weather on Friday, which downed trees and delayed the Atlanta Braves game in the ninth inning on Friday. Several people were also hurt when the roof of an Alpharetta manufacturing facility collapsed. An EF-1 tornado even touched down in Hall County.

All of metro Atlanta was under a severe thunderstorm watch until 11 p.m.

The Braves (14-18) ultimately lost to the Dodgers, 10-3, losing the series and all five games played against Los Angeles up to this point this season.

The series finale will air on ESPN at 7:15 p.m. on Sunday.
