After rain disrupted day one of the Speedway Classic, Hurston Waldrep pitched his first major league start for the Atlanta Braves against the Cincinnati Reds. The game began with Waldrep facing runners on second and third. Austin Riley's groundout play at home resulted in an injury for him, leaving his status for the next game uncertain. The Braves' offense responded with a rally, highlighted by a 3-run homer from Eli White, significantly impacting the game's momentum.
Hurston Waldrep found himself standing in Bristol Motor Speedway pitching to the Cincinnati Reds in his first start in the majors this season.
Both runners moved up on steals after the first pitch today so it was actually second and third with one out.
Waldrep got Miguel Andujar to hit a ground ball to third and Austin Riley picked it up and actually raced Elly De La Cruz to plate, tagging him out just before Cruz slid into home.
Manager Brian Snitker confirmed after the game they would evaluate Riley over the coming days to determine if he needs to go back on the IL.
