Honeywell fans 5 in two perfect Fall Stars frames

"It was awesome," Honeywell said. "It was the first All-Star game I ever started, the first TV game, so I was pretty excited."

Honeywell, the No. 39 overall prospect, was just as dominant in the second, adding two more strikeouts to his total.

The right-hander threw 31 pitches, 21 strikes, and struck out five -- three via mid-90s fastballs and two with his screwball -- in two perfect innings

After posting a 2.34 ERA in 20 starts between Class A Advanced Charlotte and Double-A Montgomery this season, Honeywell got hit around in his first two AFL starts, allowing eight earned run in 4 1/3 innings.
