For the seventh year in a row, the American League defeated the National League in the All-Star game, coming away with a 4-3 victory. If you care about such things, the Yankees Masahiro Tanaka was the winning pitcher and Clayton Kershaw took the loss.
Offense on the NL side came courtesy of a Charlie Blackmon home run and a two-RBI, bases loaded single from Tampa’s own Pete Alonso, who had himself quite an All-Star performance. The AL benefited from a Joey Gallo solo home run, as well as RBIs from Michael Brantley and Jorge Polanco. They also scored a run on a bases-loaded double play.
