Jeimer Candelario received 27.8 percent of the votes to grab the final spot on the East Division team. The Brewers’ Yadiel Rivera was added to the West Division team after receiving 19.1 percent of the online voting.
This was the first time fan voting determined the final two spots for each team in the annual Fall Stars Game.

Black had a really poor outing on Tuesday. Black was charged with six runs, five earned, on two hits with three walks … four of the runs scored on a Grand Slam by Phillip Ervin. In two of his seven games, Black has given up a combined 10 runs, nine earned, on six hits with five walks in 2 1/3 innings.
