All good things must come to an end, and the Junior Circuit’s nine-game win streak was snapped by one of the names likely to stand out in the future as the most surprising all-star, Elias Diaz (other candidates at this early juncture include Brent Rooker, Wander Franco who might be whitewashed for his off-field indiscretions, Austin Hays, and Mitch Keller). Facing Felix Bautista down 2-1 in the eighth, Nick Castellanos walked and Diaz homered to flip the score to 3-2. The AL would try to rally as with two outs in the ninth, Kyle Tucker and Julio Rodriguez worked walks off Craig Kimbrel, but Jose Ramirez struck out to end the run of AL domination.
