\u201cI didn\u2019t really have the nerves, I guess, going up there this time,\u201d said Buxton, who is now 2-for-4 with a home run and a double in his two All-Star Games<\/a>. \u201cMy first at-bat, I felt good but got jammed a little bit\u201d and lined out to left field in the seventh inning, after subbing in for starting center fielder Javier B\u00e1ez of Detroit in the fifth. \u201cThe second one, I just said, don\u2019t overthink. Have a quality at-bat and get us going, so that was a lot of fun.\u201d<\/p>\n

The day began with another fun activity, too, Buxton said. MLB stages a red-carpet welcome to the ballpark, and players are encouraged to dress as though they are attending a gala event. <\/p>\n

Buxton won raves with a deep teal suit in Los Angeles in 2022, and he made a striking impression this time, too.<\/p>\n

\u201cBrix and Blaze wanted to do pink. They said it was a happy color,\u201d Buxton said. \u201cThey wanted to wear pink or maybe neon green, something really bright. I don\u2019t argue with it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ryan was less flashy, but just as classy, in a casual off-white suit, with his fianc\u00e9e, Clare Stonich, accompanying him in a two-piece bright white dress.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cI didn\u2019t really have the nerves, I guess, going up there this time,\u201d said Buxton, who is now…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":314,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[435],"tags":[49,48,462,82],"class_list":["post-313","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mlb","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-mlb","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/313","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=313"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/313\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/314"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=313"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=313"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=313"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
