Freddy Peralta Had a Succcessful ASG; Corbin Burnes Not So Much
All-Star Game took place at Coors Field yesterday. Milwaukee Brewers had five representatives at the game. That’s a great honor for the Brewers and worth some respect overall in Major League Baseball. Josh Hader and Brandon Woodruff did not appear in the game. Woodruff was expected and paved the way for Brewers’ pitcher Freddy Peralta to have an appearance since he pitched on Sunday. Craig Counsell hoped that Hader would not pitch, and he got his wish. That said, Peralta and Corbin Burnes both made it to the mound with Omar Narvaez behind the plate later. Peralta dazzled with three strikeouts in one inning. Burnes had an unfortunate soft contact inning in the second then gave up a complete moonshot to Vladimir Guerrero Jr.

Peralta is the first Brewers pitcher in history to strikeout the side. Burnes is always going to be a part of All-Star Game history if you want to spinzone this thing a little bit. Guerrero Jr. is a superstar, and for him to have this moment is major for baseball in general. Guerrero Jr. got pumped by baseball yesterday for good reason, and it also helped that Fernando Tatis Jr. was being interviewed right as he launched it.
