The MLB Speedway Classic between the Atlanta Braves and Cincinnati Reds at Bristol Motor Speedway was significantly delayed by rain. After a 2.5-hour delay and less than a full inning of play, the game was suspended until Sunday at 1 p.m. ET. The Reds lead 1-0. Despite the weather, pregame festivities included performances by Pitbull and Tim McGraw. Braves starter Spencer Strider was scratched due to the delay, with Austin Cox pitching instead. A large crowd remained despite the interruptions.
