2019 MLB Futures Game: Cristian Pache, Ian Anderson in the NL starting lineup

MLB All-Star festivities officially get underway Sunday night with the 2019 MLB Futures Game at Progressive Field in Cleveland. The exhibition game will feature many of the top prospects in baseball. Outfielder Cristian Pache and right-hander Ian Anderson will represent the Atlanta Braves as part of the National League squad.

The game will feature a new format this season. In the past teams were split based on a United States versus the World approach. Starting tonight, the game will feature a more traditional American League versus National League setup.

Pache will leadoff and play center field for the National League squad while Anderson will be on the mound to start the game.
