The Major League Baseball All-Star Game has been around since 1933 and on Thursday evening Reds shortstop Elly De La Cruz matched a rare feat in team history.

For the first time in three years, it seems unlikely that the Reds will select a right-hander from Wake Forest with their first pick.

The best start of the four Chase Burns has logged so far for the Cincinnati Reds wasn't enough to spur the team a win.

To borrow Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s famous quote, for Cincinnati Reds outfielder Austin Hays it was, “A day which will live in infamy.”

Jordan Beck started in left field and batted cleanup in the Rockies' lineup. He went 0-for-3 against Burns and was struck out twice. The former Vol went 1-for-4 in the game. Beck and Burns were teammates on Tennessee's 2022 SEC Tournament and regular-season championship team.

On its face, a three-game set in steamy July against 21-win Colorado might not seem like much of an attraction. But it should be.

Star Game rosters feature undeniable star power, a large collection of first-time selections and more players from the Los Angeles Dodgers than any other team. Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani and New York Yankees slugger Aaron Judge were the two leading vote getters in the National League and American League this year and they'll headline lineups that mix baseball's entrenched best with 21 all-star selections 26 years old or younger.
