Fans React to Disastrous MLB Speedway Classic Rain Delay originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Tonight's MLB Speedway Classic matchup between the Atlanta Braves and Cincinnati Reds at the Bristol Motor Speedway promised to be a historic night, with over 85,000 tickets sold for the game inside the legendary venue.

The MLB Speedway Classic has been suspended by rain. The Atlanta Braves and Cincinnati Reds started the first MLB regular-season game in the state of Tennessee after a 2-hour, 17-minute rain delay before the first pitch.

When the Speedway Classic resumes Sunday, the Reds will have Matt McLain at second and Elly De La Cruz at first, and Miguel Andujar at the plate with one out. Cincinnati leads the game 1-0 on an Austin Hays RBI single ( GameTracker ).
