Greinke then walked Josh Donaldson before starting to pitch much like the Greinke who has dominated opposing hitters at every turn in 2015, and he secured a little piece of All-Star history along the way.
Greinke struck out four of the final six hitters he faced before giving way -- a planned move -- to Gerrit Cole of the Pirates to start the third inning.
He became the first All-Star Game pitcher with four strikeouts since Pedro Martinez in the 1999 game.
How rare was the run against Greinke?
