The series finale between the San Francisco Giants and host Atlanta Braves was called off nearly five hours before first pitch due to inclement weather in the forecast Thursday.
The teams were not due to meet in Atlanta again this season, with the game was rescheduled for Monday, Aug. 31 which was a mutual off day.
The Giants will add the stop in Atlanta at the front of a six-game East Coast road trip to play the Pittsburgh Pirates and New York Mets. Atlanta adds the game at the end of a scheduled six-game homestand before it begins a trip Sept. 1.
The Giants took the first two games of the series 7-2 and 7-5 from the Braves, who have fallen from their perch after owning the best record in baseball to start the week.
The Giants planned to start right-hander Landen Roupp (5-7, 4.24 ERA) on Thursday opposite Atlanta lefty Martin Perez (5-3, 2.90). Both pitchers will have their start moved back a day, with Roupp to face the Miami Marlins and Perez to duel Jacob Misiorowski and the Milwaukee Brewers on Friday.
