Thursday night’s game between the Atlanta Braves and Washington Nationals was originally set to begin at 7:05 p.m. ET.
However, it was announced just under 30 minutes prior to first pitch that the start of the game would be delayed due to approaching weather.
The start of tonight's #Nats - #Braves game will be delayed. We will provide more information as soon as it is available.

As annoying as rain delays can be for fans, journalists and players alike, it’s understood that it’s just a part of baseball.
