On Saturday, despite the Washington Nationals blowing their second consecutive save, there was one piece of good news: Foster Griffin was selected to the All-Star Game.
The left-hander was named as a replacement for Braxton Ashcraft. It’s the first All-Star nod for Griffin, who has pitched to a 2.77 ERA in 110⅓ innings with 109 strikeouts, all marks that ranked in the top 10 in the National League heading into Saturday’s slate of games.
