As an “appetizer” to the MLB All-Star Game featuring Marlins rookie Trevor Rogers, right-hander Max Meyer and left-hander Jake Eder took the Coors Field mound Sunday afternoon in the 2021 Futures Game, where they faced some of the American League’s finest young talent (full rosters here). Thanks in small part to their contributions, the NL won the seven-inning contest, 8-3.
A consensus Top 100 prospect in baseball, Meyer came in to begin the top of the second inning. He retired Adley Rutschman (Orioles) on a shallow flyout and issued a walk to Nick Pratto (Royals).
