New York just didn’t want to allow a baseball game to take place on Saturday as the Atlanta Braves and New York Mets had to endure an hour and 10 minute rain delay.
Were it to come to a vote among the Mets’ faithful in attendance, they might have opted to quit right there, given their team’s struggles.
The Braves offense struck early, with back-to-back lead off singles from Ronald Acuña Jr. and Dansby Swanson to set it up. After Freddie Freeman struck out, Josh Donaldson was hit-by-a-pitch to load the bases for Ozzie Albies.
