How Chicago’s All-Stars fared
Cubs
Javy Baez
Struck out swinging when AL fireballing starter Justin Verlander of the Astros cruelly took the heat off on a 3-2 pitch. More important: Baez was retired by brother-in-law Jose Berrios of the Twins in his second at-bat. That’ll come up at Christmas.
Kris Bryant
Entered in the fourth inning in — huh? — left field. The Brewers’ Mike Moustakas came in at third base at the same time and went the rest of the way. Bryant was gone after two innings and one very unexciting strikeout.
