White Sox first baseman Jose Abreu got to start his first game for the AL All-Stars. He went 0-2 striking out against Max Scherzer of the Washington Nationals and flying out against Mike Foltynewicz of the Atlanta Braves.
Neither team hit many singles nor earned many walks, so Abreu did not get to show off his skills at first base. Unless players hit home runs, there were not many opportunities to showcase skills.
If you enjoy watching home runs, then you most likely enjoyed the events at the All-Star Game and the Home Run Derby.
