The Cincinnati righty made his first All-Star appearance this season but didn’t have his vintage stuff after making his debut in June of last year. Andres Chaparro lit up the scoreboard for the Nats, driving in three runs. The game was close for two-thirds of the way, with the Reds tying the game at two runs apiece on a two-run shot from Eugenio Suarez.
