If you went to Marlins Park for Tuesday’s All-Star Game looking for offensive fireworks, like those provided one night earlier in the Home Run Derby, you were probably disappointed.
It took a Robinson Cano solo homer off Wade Davis in the 10th to bring an end to an American League 2-1 win over the National League before an announced sellout crowd of 37,181.
But what the 88th All-Star Game lacked in high-scoring excitement it made up for with more subtle moments that were touching at times and light-hearted at others.
