The Atlanta Braves and Cincinnati Reds couldn't even complete one lap Saturday night at Bristol Motor Speedway during the first Major League Baseball game played in Tennessee.
After a lengthy pregame rain delay that put off the first pitch for 2 hours, 17 minutes, the Braves and Reds only registered four outs before another weather delay forced their game to be suspended until 1 p.m. ET on Sunday with the Reds holding a 1-0 lead.
More than 85,000 tickets -- an MLB record -- were sold for the MLB Speedway Classic, but Mother Nature did not care about the night's historical significance.
With puddles visible on the infield dirt, the Reds' Matt McLain and Elly De La Cruz registered infield singles before Austin Hays poked an RBI single into left as McLain splashed home. The tarp returned to the field shortly thereafter. When the game resumes Sunday, Cincinnati will have runners on first and second with one out.
Cincinnati rookie Chase Burns set down the Braves in order in the first, which included strikeouts of Jurickson Profar and Matt Olson. Atlanta sent reliever Austin Cox to the mound in the bottom of the first and he fanned TJ Friedl before allowing the three consecutive singles.
