In a Midsummer Classic filled with replacements and first-time All-Stars, the Baltimore right-hander was the last to arrive. Burnes, an All-Star for the fourth consecutive year, flew to Texas the morning of the game after spending about 36 hours at home in Arizona. “I tried to maximize as much time at home with them as I can,” Burnes said. “Be a dad for a little bit.

Bryce Harper had doubled behind a walk to Shohei Ohtani.
