Former Brewers pitcher Drew Rasmussen, now with Tampa Bay, threw a perfect fifth for the American League. Former Brewers minor leaguer Shane Smith, pitching for the White Sox in the eighth, retired one of the two batters he faced.

That's a record, as it turns out. According to Elias, the MLB record for fewest career games before an All-Star selection was 11 by Paul Skenes of the Pittsburgh Pirates just last season. Misirowski didn't just break that record, he reduced it to smoking embers.

Milwaukee Brewers rookie Jacob Misiorowski didn't anticipate the blowback, but he understands why some are unhappy over his selection as an All-Star Game replacement after just five starts in the major leagues.
