Ender Inciarte plays quiet role as AL wins All-Star Game

As the first Atlanta Braves outfielder to see All-Star Game action since Andruw Jones, Ender Inciarte had a quiet night in a pitching-dominant affair.

The American League won the Midsummer Classic in extra innings after a late home run from Seattle Mariners second baseman Robinson Cano. The all-time record between the two leagues in the All-Star Game now sits at 43-43-2.

Inciarte entered the game in the top of the sixth inning as a replacement for Colorado Rockies standout and All-Starter Charlie Blackmon, who went 0 for 3 in the game. As soon as he entered the game, the 2016 National League Gold Glove winner recorded two putouts, but that ended his defensive activity for the night.
