The series opener for the Braves and Padres, which was scheduled for Monday, was postponed thanks to rains of nearly biblical proportions that flooded all of north Georgia. To make up the postponement, the two teams will play a doubleheader on Wednesday. Tuesday will give us another shot at seeing an intriguing pitching matchup that will feature young right-hander Touki Toussaint, who will make his season debut, facing off against former Cy Young Award winner Yu Darvish.
Weather permitting, we will actually get to see Toussaint take the ball for the first time this season. The book is largely out on Toussaint among Braves fans, but to recap; he has been wildly inconsistent to begin his career, but has flashed some of the best stuff in the organization since his acquisition in 2015.
