MLB All-Star Game was Tuesday night's most-watched program, viewership lower from last year

LOS ANGELES -- Major League Baseball's Midsummer Classic remains the most-watched all-star game in the major professional sports, even though it drew record lows in viewership for the fifth time since 2015.

Tuesday night's game from Los Angeles -- which the American League won 3-2 -- averaged 7.51 million viewers on Fox, according to Nielsen, a decline of 9.7% from last year's contest in Colorado. The audience peaked at 8.24 million between 9:15 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. ET.

The game was the most-watched program on television Tuesday night and outdrew the three other major all-star games that were played in February.
