Well, the Red Sox didn’t have much of an impact on last night’s All-Star Game, which was to be expected, given that the team sent just one lone reliever as its representative. But hey, when Kenley Jansen came on, he got the job done. (Peter Abraham, Boston Globe)
That’s not to say the festivities weren’t Red Sox-adjacent, to an extent. Nate Eovaldi pitched for the American League and both Mookie Betts and JD Martinez started for the Senior Circuit. Mookie is having another outstanding season and is now focused on one pretty big baseball goal: election to the Hall of Fame.
