Tim Tebow's first all-star game appearance started great but ended with a loss.
Tebow doubled in his first at-bat, then watched his East team lose to the West in a hitting competition after the teams were tied at 4-4 following nine innings of Wednesday night's Eastern League all-star game in Trenton, New Jersey.
Tebow, who plays for the Mets' Double-A affiliate in Binghamton, started as the East's designated hitter and hit ninth, going 1-for-4 with the opposite-field double and a strikeout. He played all nine innings.
The East rallied to tie the game with one run in the ninth.
