The rookie stays in the lineup at DH, while Sean Murphy starts at catcher and Eli White starts in right field for the Speedway Classic. We also get a thematic graphic for the occasion. This is the same lineup as last night, just with Murphy replacing Ozuna in the fifth spot and Drake Baldwin moving to DH.

Meanwhile, the Reds offered their own take on a racing graphic and make a couple of changes to their lineup from yesterday. Austin Hays joins the lineup as the cleanup hitter and starting DH, while TJ Friedl joins the lineup, leading off and in centerfield. Tyler Stephenson also subs in at catcher for Cincy.
