The Cincinnati Reds and Atlanta Braves completed their pre-game ceremonies but then entered a rain delay at Bristol Motor Speedway. The game will not start at its originally-scheduled first-pitch time of 7:15 p.m.

Eli White hit a three-run homer and a solo shot, helping the Atlanta Braves beat the Cincinnati Reds 4-2 in the rain-delayed MLB Speedway Classic at Bristol Motor Speedway.

Whatever the Speedway Classic was intended to mean for MLB, what it ended up being for the Cincinnati Reds was added hardship in the middle of a playoff race.
