The Reds, the Braves, and Major League Baseball all hoped the weather would cooperate on Saturday night at the first-ever Speedway Classic. It did not. The game was about to kick off when rain started coming down as hard as it had all day.

The Cincinnati Reds and Atlanta Braves already started their one-off game at Bristol Motor Speedway on Aug. 2, but it was twice delayed by rain before it was suspended. Aug. 3 will see the times pick-up where they left off and attempt to complete a full game.
