MIAMI (AP) — The American League beat the National League 2-1 in 10 innings Tuesday night in the All-Star Game, and the marquee sluggers did their part to keep the score down.
Aaron Judge’s flyball to center field in the fifth inning triggered a crowd crescendo even though it came to rest in a glove shy of the warning track.
Giancarlo Stanton struck out twice and tapped out to the catcher, so his estimated distance averaged about 7 feet per plate appearance.
The Home Run Derby this was not.
Judge, the New York Yankees rookie sensation and Monday night’s winner of the Home Run Derby, went 0 for 3 before departing in the fifth.
