MILWAUKEE – Pitchers Corbin Burnes, Josh Hader and Brandon Woodruff were selected to represent the Brewers at the 2021 All-Star Game at Coors Field in Denver, Colorado. The game will be played on Tuesday, July 13 at 7pm CT.

For the first time in franchise history, the team will be sending three pitchers to the Midsummer Classic. It marks the 15th time that the Brewers have had at least three players selected.

Burnes, making his first career All-Star appearance, is 4-4 with a 2.41 ERA in 14 starts this season. He has struck out 120 batters in just 82.0 innings while holding opponents to a .197 batting average.

Woodruff, making his second career All-Star appearance (also 2019), is 7-3 with a 1.87 ERA in 16 starts this season.
