July 15, 2018 – Team USA 10, Team World 6 (All-Star Futures Game) – Nationals Park


 
Attendance: 38,071 (many disguised as empty seats)
Duration: 3:01
Weather: 86 degrees, cloudy
Wind: 9 mph, Out to LF
Umpires: HP: Malachi Moore. 1B: Edwin Moscoso. 2B: Kyle McCrady. 3B: John Mang
 
Section 306, Row C, Seats 3-5 (still on the 3B side, but down the LF line)
 
Game notes – back and forth game, with most of the runs scoring on the 8 home runs, 2 of them courtesy of Dodgers OF prospect Yusniel Diaz (World) … 18-year-old fireballer Hunter Greene (USA) of the Reds, who was the 2nd pick in last year’s draft, hit triple digits with each of his 19 fastballs, one of which (at 102.3 mph) was turned around for a 2-run HR by White Sox OF Luis Alexander Basabe … the US finally took the lead for good in the bottom of the seventh off Philadelphia pitcher Adonis Medina, a last-minute addition to the roster (he replaced Enyel de los Santos, who wound up as the starting pitcher for the Phillies earlier in the afternoon) … frequent mid-inning pitching changes contributed to the length of the game
