Matt McLain, Elly De La Cruz, and Austin Hays strung together a trio of singles off Atlanta Braves starter Austin Cox last night in Bristol, the result of which was a 1-0 lead for the Cincinnati Reds in the Bottom of the 1st inning.
The rain-delayed MLB Speedway Classic in Bristol Motor Speedway had already been stop-started for hours, but that marked the end of any action the 85,000+ fans on hand would get to see on the day. Relentless storms on a field ill-equipped to shed that kind of water eventually forced the suspension of the game, with a 1 PM ET return to play on Sunday now on the docket.
