Overview
- The National League jumped to a 6-0 lead through a two-run double by Ketel Marte, Pete Alonso’s three-run homer and Corbin Carroll’s solo shot before the American League rallied.
- The American League cut the deficit with Brent Rooker’s three-run blast in the seventh and tied it in the ninth on a Bobby Witt Jr. double and Steven Kwan RBI single.
- In the first-ever All-Star swing-off, each league sent three hitters for three swings apiece and Kyle Schwarber’s perfect 3-for-3 performance earned MVP honors and a 4-3 victory.
- MLB deployed the Automated Ball-Strike challenge system for the first time outside spring training, overturning four calls under the two-challenge format.
- MLB and the teams will review fan and player feedback on the swing-off and ABS system ahead of next year’s All-Star Game in Philadelphia.
