The Atlanta Braves (4-2) hooked up with the Colorado Rockies (4-3) for the first of a three game set in a rather unusual weather situation, at least unusual to the Braves.
The game was delayed to a 5:10 ET start time as Coors Field and most of Colorado experienced an April snow shower. While this snowy weather is not foreign in April to people in Colorado, it is however not what the players on the Braves are used to in the mostly warm confines of SunTrust Park. Enough about the weather, let’s get to the ballgame.
Brandon McCarthy, a native of Colorado, was on the hill for the Bravos and accomplished something that no Braves starter has been able to achieve so far this season.
