Why the MLB Speedway Classic was suspended until Sunday
Saturday's MLB Speedway Classic between the Atlanta Braves and Cincinnati Reds has officially been suspended to Sunday at 1 p.m. ET. Why, you may ask? Well, Bristol Motor Speedway quickly dissolved into a monsoon, with one video showing just how rancid the playing conditions were for the Atlanta Braves and Cincinnati Reds. Two rain delays later, the game was called off until Sunday afternoon. The suspension allowed the event to take place in hopefully better baseball weather for the players and fans alike. While we're sure it stunk for the folks at the game who got poured on during the waits, at least the game could continue under hopefully more accommodating skies on Sunday. That's baseball for you! Was there another game at Bristol scheduled between the Braves and Reds on Sunday? There wasn't; this was the only game for the event.

Naylor has RBI double in 8th inning, Guardians beat Twins 5-4 for 4th straight win
Bo Naylor had an RBI double in the eighth inning, José Ramírez and Daniel Schneeman homered and the Cleveland Guardians extended their winning streak to four with a 5-4 victory over the Minnesota Twins on Saturday. Schneeman had three hits, including a drive into the right-field stands to lead off the third inning. Ramírez tied it at 4 with a two-run homer down the right-field line in the fifth. Matt Wallner had a two-run homer in the fourth inning as Minnesota dropped its fourth straight. Cleveland's bullpen retired 13 of the 14 hitters it faced, striking out 10. Nic Enright (2-0) got the win. Hunter Gaddis gave up a lead off double to Edouard Julien in the ninth, then struck out the next three for his first big-league save. Ramírez led off the eighth with a base hit to right field, advanced to second on Carlos Santana's single and scored the go-ahead run on Naylor's double to right off Pierson Ohl (0-2). Cleveland right fielder C.J. Kayfus drove in a run on his first MLB at-bat. Kayfus grounded out to shortstop Brooks Lee, but it was enough to bring in Naylor with the game's first run. Ramírez went 2 for 3 with a home run and two RBIs. Not only is the All-Star third baseman 7 for 16 in his last four games, he is batting .500 (8 for 16) with four home runs and 10 RBIs on his last four promotional giveaway games. Guardians fans received Ramírez jerseys on Saturday. Minnesota RHP José Ureña (0-0, 5.40 ERA) was set to start opposite LHP Joey Cantillo (2-1, 4.14 ERA) on Sunday in the series finale.
