Overview

  • Play will pick up Sunday in the bottom of the first inning with one out, runners on first and second and the Reds leading 1–0.
  • Chase Burns struck out two batters and retired the side in the top of the first before Austin Hays’s RBI single gave Cincinnati its advantage.
  • Braves starter Spencer Strider was scratched after completing his pregame warmup, and both teams intend to announce revised pitching plans for Sunday’s resumption.
  • Bristol Motor Speedway gates will open at 10 a.m. ET Sunday, and tickets sold for Saturday’s rain-delayed game will be honored for the remainder of the contest.
  • More than 85,000 tickets were sold for MLB’s first regular-season game in Tennessee and inside a NASCAR venue, setting the stage for a new single-game attendance record.
