Colorado's Juan Cruz and Atlanta's Shane Reynolds -- Wednesday's scheduled starters -- will square off in the first game. Shawn Chacon of the Rockies will face Russ Ortiz of the Braves in the nightcap.

Wednesday's game was just the second rainout in the seven-year history of Turner Field. The other postponement came on June 4, 2002 against the New York Mets.

On Aug. 15, the game between the Braves and San Francisco Giants was suspended due to rain in the top of the 10th inning.
