Although the National League ended up dropping the game in extra innings, the Washington Nationals ended up hosting a damn good All-Star Game. They even had two of their own hometown players take part in a memorable occasion for the capital.
Max Scherzer and Bryce Harper came out to huge cheers during the player introductions. Even Sean Doolittle got his ceremonial “DOO” chant, despite being injured and unable to participate in the game.
Mookie Betts and Jose Altuve were the first two hitters to face Scherzer in the game, both going down on strikes.
