The Atlanta Braves rode a clutch two-homer night from Eli White to a hard-fought 4-2 victory over the Cincinnati Reds in Saturday's MLB Speedway Classic, silencing a Great American Ball Park crowd that had come alive in the late innings. White, who entered the game with modest power numbers, delivered the decisive blows—a two-run shot in the third and another two-run blast in the fifth—accounting for all of Atlanta's RBIs. His second homer, a towering drive off Reds reliever Brent Suter, broke a 2-2 tie and proved the difference in a game where both offenses struggled to string hits together. The Braves' bullpen, led by Hurston Waldrep's 5.2 innings of one-run ball, bent but never broke, while Raisel Iglesias slammed the door in the ninth despite allowing two hits.

Cincinnati's offense showed flashes, with Matt McLain and Ke'Bryan Hayes each collecting two hits, but the Reds couldn't capitalize on key opportunities. A third-inning RBI single from McLain and a sacrifice fly by Austin Hays in the fourth were their only answers to White's heroics. The loss drops the Reds further back in the playoff hunt, while the Braves—despite an otherwise quiet night from stars like Matt Olson and Austin Riley—proved they can win even when their usual firepower sputters. For Atlanta, White's breakout performance couldn't have come at a better time.
