Tigers trade deadline reunion almost killed before it began by AL Central rival

Despite the Detroit Tigers' six All-Stars putting together a pretty terrible performance in Atlanta on Tuesday night, the game still managed to be a fun watch. The American League came back from a 6-0 deficit only to lose in a first-of-its-kind mini Home Run Derby thanks to a standout performance from Kyle Schwarber, who became the MVP for his efforts.

The game is always a good, usually unserious time, but a White Sox pitcher threatened to turn a moment in an exhibition into something that could have major implications for the trade deadline.

White Sox starter Shane Smith, the team's only representative, entered in the bottom of the eighth.
