#356---All-Star Game, 7/11/2016


 All of the game’s scoring came in the first four innings, with Kris Bryant starting it with a homer off Chris Sale. The AL answered in the second when Eric Hosmer and Salvador Perez took Johnny Cueto deep, and Hosmer drove in a second run with a third-inning single against Jose Fernandez. Aaron Sanchez allowed the NL a run in the fourth to make it 4-2.

The NL’s big chance came in the eighth, loading the bases against Fernando Rodney, but Will Harris came in to fan Aledmys Diaz (most surprising All-Star). In the ninth, Zack Britton yielded a leadoff single, but used his trademark groundball ability to induce Nolan Arenado to hit into a 543 double play to end the game.
