That was quick.
They're removing the tarp at Truist Park.

We have a restart time of 8 p.m.
The approximate restart time for tonight's game is 8 pm.

The tarp is going back on the field so forget about that 8 p.m. start time.
Seconds after the announced that plan, heavy rain began.

Not an update
Update: There is no update, other than the warning track is now an actual river.

The umpires and managers just met in front of the Braves dugout. The rain has lightened. We may get an update soon.

Rain has lightened, but it's still coming down here at Truist Park & the forecast doesn't look great. The umpires & both managers met moments ago -- players & equipment staff on both sides starting to pack up & take their things. Still no "official" word on the status

Tonight’s game has been suspended. No word yet on when it will be resumed.
