But the Senior Circuit clinched the win in thrilling fashion and has now won two of the last three All-Star Games after the AL won nine in a row from 2013 through 2022. Schwarber went 0-for-2 with a walk during the actual game but still took home the MVP award because of his clutch performance in the Home Run Derby.

Tigers ace Tarik Skubal, tabbed as the American League’s starting pitcher, allowed two runs in a tough-luck first inning. National League leadoff man Shohei Ohtani fell behind 0-2 before slapping a single to center. Ronald Acuña Jr. also battled to two strikes before beating out a dribbler to second for an infield hit.
