The next generation took a turn in the spotlight in Saturday's All-Star Futures Game.

An American League team hosted the festivities at Globe Life Field, but it was the National League that pulled out the 6-1 victory behind the big bats of the game's Most Valuable Player Cam Collier and Drake Baldwin. But the host city's Emiliano Teodo brought the heat as the only pitcher in Futures Game history to ever throw two perfect innings, and Kyle Teel doubled his pleasure as the only player with a multihit game in the contest.

AL EAST

BLUE JAYS -- Fernando Perez, RHP (No. 23): The native of Nicaragua came out of the bullpen in the sixth and allowed one run on one hit -- a solo shot by Drake Baldwin -- without issuing a walk. Perez induced a popup to center from MLB’s No. 4 prospect Dylan Crews to end the frame.

ORIOLES -- Samuel Basallo, C (No. 2/MLB No. 12): The 19-year-old got the start behind the dish for the American League squad and called the first two perfect innings by a pitcher in Futures Game history (thrown by Emiliano Teodo). Basallo also reached base in the first inning on a two-out walk.

RAYS -- Xavier Isaac, 1B (No. 3/MLB No. 31): The 2022 first-round pick got the start at first base for the AL and played the entire game there.

RED SOX -- Kyle Teel (No. 3/MLB No. 24): Teel relieved Basallo behind the plate in the fifth and quickly contributed to the AL team’s offense. He doubled in the bottom of the inning but was stranded on third. He doubled again in the seventh en route to the only multihit game for either side. Marcelo Mayer (No. 1/MLB No. 7): Mayer also entered the game in the fifth and went 0-for-2 with two groundouts.

YANKEES -- Spencer Jones, OF (No. 2/MLB No. 74): Jones got the start in right field for the AL squad and was responsible for the team’s first run after working a five-pitch walk in the fourth, stealing second base and scampering home on an RBI single by Jaison Chourio.
