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.

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.

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.
