In what should the first of many All-Star Games, Jose Fernandez pitched a perfect 6th inning for the NL. Fernandez struck out former AL MVP Dustin Pedroia, enduced a foul popup from current AL MVP Miguel Cabrera and then struck out MVP front runner Chris Davis.

Fernandez, the youngest pitcher to pitch in an All-Star Game since 1985 (Doc Gooden), joined Gooden, Fernando Valenzuela, Bob Feller and Jerry Walker as the only pitchers 20 years or younger to pitch in an All-Star Game. Only Fernandez, Gooden and Feller struck out two or more at that age.
