Braves’ Ender Inciarte holds Venezuelan flag during All-Star introduction

During his 2017 MLB All-Star introduction, Atlanta Braves outfielder Ender Inciarte held up the Venezuelan flag.

A first-time All-Star and proud Venezuelan, Inciarte was the only member of the Braves at Tuesday night’s All-Star game and the first Braves outfielder to be named an All-Star since Andruw Jones in 2005.

Although he averages .302 with 112 hits, 36 RBI and a career-high of seven home runs this season, Inciarte went 0-for-2 at the plate on Tuesday in Miami’s Marlins Park.

The American League won the 2017 All-Star game 2-1.
