ATLANTA — Major League Baseball had its 26th postponement of the season when the New York Mets and Atlanta Braves were washed out Sunday, the most related to weather through April since the commissioner’s officer started keeping records in 1986. Rain began falling at SunTrust Park late Sunday morning and was forecast to continue through the afternoon and night. “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. Braves right-hander Mike Foltynewicz was pushed back and rescheduled to start Monday’s series opener at Cincinnati. Mets starter Zack Wheeler will start Tuesday’s series opener at St. Louis, following an off day.
