Braves Game Delayed by Rain in Minnesota
18 Aug
Summary
- The Atlanta Braves' series opener against the Twins in Minnesota faced a rain delay.
- A new start time for the game has not yet been announced.
- This marks another rain-related delay for the Braves on a busy road trip.

The Atlanta Braves' series opener against the Minnesota Twins in Minneapolis is currently experiencing a rain delay. As of Tuesday, August 18, 2026, the first pitch time has not been rescheduled. Martín Pérez was slated to start for the Braves, but it remains unclear if he will still take the mound.
The delay occurred shortly before the originally scheduled 7:40 p.m. start. This is an unwelcome beginning to a challenging road trip for the Braves, which includes a three-game series in Minnesota. Following this, they are scheduled to travel to Chicago for a makeup game against the White Sox, a game necessitated by a previous rainout.
Their road trip continues with a series against the Milwaukee Brewers, culminating in a unique Little League Classic game in Williamsport, Pennsylvania. This series of events highlights a recurring theme of weather impacting the Braves' schedule.
