ATLANTA (CBSNewYork/AP) — The final game of the four-game series between the New York Mets and Atlanta Braves was postponed because of rain on Sunday.
Rain began falling at SunTrust Park late Sunday morning and was forecast to continue through the afternoon and night.
The game will be made up as part of a split doubleheader on May 28.
Braves manager Brian Snitker said the rainout will give his players a well-timed rest — even though he was hoping his team could build on momentum gained from Saturday night’s 4-3 last at-bat win.
“We’ve still got seven days before we have an off day, so it will be good to give everybody an extra day,” Snitker said.
