With a lot motion all night, it might need been tough to maintain tabs on how your favourite staff’s All-Stars fared Tuesday.
Here is how each All-Star contributed to the 2024 Midsummer Basic.
Vladimir Guerrero Jr.: After Vladdy spent Monday evening being Teoscar Hernández’s hitting coach and hype man as his shut buddy received the 2024 House Run Derby, Guerrero was the Blue Jays’ lone consultant within the massive recreation Tuesday.

He misplaced the deal with on his bat within the fourth — which is turning into curiously frequent for him these days — and ended 0-for-2 after dealing with Max Fried and Shota Imanaga.
Corbin Burnes: The child who grew up idolizing Nolan Ryan acquired the All-Star begin in Texas and escaped the primary inning with a zero.

Gunnar Henderson: Henderson acquired his first have a look at Paul Skenes … and might be joyful that Skenes pitches within the NL.
