Syndication: The Knoxville News-SentinelEli White of the Atlanta Braves holds the trophy after the Braves defeated the Cincinnati Reds in the MLB Speedway Classic held at Bristol Motor Speedway in Bristol, Tenn., on August 3, 2025.

Eli White hit a pair of home runs to help the Atlanta Braves beat the Cincinnati Reds 4-2 in the Speedway Classic held at Bristol (Tenn.) Motor Speedway on Sunday before an MLB-record crowd of 91,032.

It was the completion of a game that began Saturday and suspended in the bottom of the first inning. There were no weather issues on Sunday as the teams completed the first major league game conducted in Tennessee.

White connected on a three-run shot in the fifth inning off Brent Suter and added a solo homer in the seventh off Scott Barlow, giving him six for the season. It was the second multi-home run game of White’s career.

The winning pitcher was Hurston Waldrep, who was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett. He took over from Austin Cox, who was the opener on Saturday and allowed three hits and a run in one third of an inning before the game was suspended.

Waldrep (1-0) worked 5 2/3 innings and allowed one run on three hits, two walks and four strikeouts in his first major-league appearance of the season.

Raisel Iglesias worked around a pair of leadoff singles by TJ Friedl and Matt McLain in the ninth to earn his 14th save.

The Reds started Chase Burns, who struck out two of the three batters he faced on Saturday, then replaced him with Suter (1-2) when the game resumed. Suter worked 2 2/3 innings and allowed three runs on four hits with two strikeouts.

The Reds scored a run in the first when Austin Hays had an RBI single and in the third on McLain’s sacrifice fly to center field, which cut Atlanta’s lead to 3-2.

The Reds loaded the bases in the eighth but Ke’Bryan Hayes grounded into an inning-ending force out. Cincinnati was 1-for-8 with runners in scoring position and left 12 runners on base.

Atlanta third baseman Austin Riley left the game in the third inning with lower right abdominal pain, the same problem that landed him on the injured list from July 12-25.

Atlanta completed a 3-6 road trip and won its first series since July 11-12 at St. Louis.

England show new-found bottle – but biggest World Cup test to come

Whether your take on England's narrow win at the World Cup on Sunday was that they earned it or India threw it away, it definitely marked progress for Nat Sciver-Brunt's side.Keeping their cool in crunch moments has long been the team's nemesis: in successive T20 World Cups and, most obviously, that 16-0 Ashes drubbing just under a year ago. Yes, Australia are a brilliant team, one perhaps currently marching towards an eighth 50-over World Cup title, but England did not half shoot themselves in the foot last winter, freezing when it mattered most, losing games they could, perhaps should, have won. Image: Charlie Dean (left) and Nat Sciver-Brunt (right) after England's nervy win over India In Indore at the weekend, though, that changed.When the pressure was on, England held their nerve and India lost theirs as the World Cup co-hosts […]

What’s wrong with the Commanders? Why Washington is struggling and why turnaround might not be coming

Dan Quinn didn't have to say much after the Commanders' 44-22 loss to the Cowboys to send a message.Is he surprised by where his 3-4 Commanders stand so far this season?"Yes. Very."And what of that sequence before halftime, in which the Cowboys followed a Commanders touchdown by going 72 yards in just four plays and 35 seconds to score a touchdown of their own?"Words cannot explain. I was hot."Perhaps that sequence best encapsulates the Commanders right now. One step forward comes with two steps back. The players, Quinn admitted, are mad, too. But they were also mad after a 25-24 "Monday Night Football" loss to the Bears in which the offense committed three turnovers and the defense got shredded on the ground.Anger, it turns out, only goes so far. The Commanders are struggling on both sides of the ball with […]
