The American League claimed home-field advantage in the World Series on Tuesday night by beating the National League, 4-2, in the Major League Baseball All-Star Game at Petco Park in San Diego.

All-Star ratings: The All-Star game has drawn a record-low television rating for the second straight year.
“Hopefully this is something we can all rally upon for the second half and find a way to use that home-field advantage”, Hosmer said.
The Detroit Tigers’ lone representative, first baseman Miguel Cabrera, went 0-for-1.
This year, Hosmer had the opportunity to chose between a 50th anniversary Camaro sports vehicle and a Midnight edition Colorado truck.
Bryant added some more color to the All-Star Game in a more literal fashion as well: He changed his cleats three times in four innings, showing off a different shade of shoe each time. “To have my first hit be a home run is special”. Their best opportunity to stage a rally came in the top of the 8th inning when, with the bases loaded and down 4-2, St. Louis’ outstanding rookie Aledmys Diaz, faced Houston reliever Will Harris with the bases loaded and two outs.
He was making his first All-Star appearance after being voted into the starting lineup by the fans and is hitting.299 with 13 home runs and an.834 OPS in 87 games.
For the 11th time in 14 All-Star Games since “This Time It Counts”, the A.L. won. He allowed a one-out hit to Brewers catcher Jonathan Lucroy and a two-out single to the Pirates’ Starling Marte followed by a walk to Reds outfielder Adam Duvall. The N.L. eventually scored its second run in that inning on a single by Marcell Ozuna of the Marlins. I know he’s the best player in the game. Baltimore Orioles closer Zach Britton earned the save.
Betances threw three pitches that topped 100 miles per hour, including his second-hardest pitch of the year, a fastball that ramped up to 101.3, according to Statcast.
SAN DIEGO (AP) – Red Sox DH David Ortiz wore spikes with gold-colored bottoms and matching batting gloves to mark his 10th All-Star game selection.

I’m sure they have been honest about not wanting to bring Kyle Schwarber back until the spring, but there now may be the possibility of temptation before then if his rehab goes well.
