As a child, Jose Berrios grew up closely watching his idols, Pedro Martinez and Ivan Rodriguez, play in the All-Star Game, hoping he would one day have the chance to do the same. On Tuesday, the 24-year-old Twins ace got his chance.
Berrios made his All-Star debut for the American League at the 2018 MLB All-Star Game presented by Mastercard at Nationals Park in Washington. The right-hander tossed a clean fifth inning for the American League and sat down three of the four batters he faced.
Berrios, the Twins lone All-Star representative, forced a loud out from Yadier Molina when the Cardinals catcher hit a long flyout to the warning track in center field to end the inning.
