ATLANTA — You like a good first inning? The 95th All-Star Game delivered a heck of a good first inning.
It included Pirates sensation Paul Skenes retiring Yankees superstar Aaron Judge to complete a dominant, fastball-filled top half; the Dodgers’ Shohei Ohtani sparking a two-run rally with a base hit off Tigers ace Tarik Skubal in the bottom of the frame; “FRED-DIE!” chants for the Dodgers’ Freddie Freeman, a World Series-winning Brave; and the Midsummer Classic’s first-ever “robot” reversal, with the Padres’ Manny Machado taking a strikeout after the Automated Ball-Strike (ABS) challenge system did its thing.
