AL prevails in extras, game play records with 10 circuits

The Final:

It seems that the Midsummer Clbadic reflects the two great trends of the game today: home racing and strikeouts.

Alex Bregman and George Springer, two Houston Astros teammates, won two straight sets in the lead of the 10th inning to propel the AHL to an 8-6 win, 13 wins in the last 16 games of the Stars.

AL seemed to be in good shape after Jean Segura broke a 2-2 tie with a three-point loss in the seventh.

But Christian Yelich hit an opposite field homer in the eighth and Scooter Gennett tied the game with one in the ninth with a two-point blast from the leader of the major league backups, Edwin Diaz. A final rally in the bottom of 10th place while Joey Votto broke the last record of a total of 10 home runs to reduce the margin to two points. However, J. A. Happ won the last three outs to close the victory.

The 10 tours were the most popular in the history of All-Star.

Earlier in the game, the LA exploded early on Aaron Judge and Mike. Trout, but the National League rallied to match solo shots of Willson Contreras and Trevor Story

Meanwhile, both pitching teams combined 25 shootouts – 12 AL and 13 NL throwers.

The man of the moment: Segura only had one, but he made the most of it. When your league is equipped with good shorts, it is not easy to get a lot of recognition. Segura was third on AL's depth chart behind Manny Machado and Francisco Lindor, so he had to wait until the seventh inning to get a plate look.

Segura hits .323 on the season with seven 47 RBI and 66 points scored. In any other year, this might be enough to get a starting point. But not in this league.

Max Effort: Max Scherzer, as expected, was pumped to start his second consecutive Star Match, all the more so as he pitched in front of his home.

National Director Dave Martinez, who is part of NL's coaching team, told reporters before the match that he had to remind Scherzer many times not to be too excited . "If he starts throwing 98 (mph), I can start to worry," Martinez said.

After hitting the Mookie Betts on an 88 mph cutter, Scherzer increased his heat and fired # 2 drummer Jose Altuve on a fastball that hit … yes, 98.

Si Scherzer has a weakness, however, it was the homerun. And in a otherwise typically Scherzer debut, he made a mistake.

Leading the second run, Aaron Judge, a slugger of the New York Yankees, hit a 0-1 Scherzer quick shot 399 feet to the left to give the AL 1-0.

Continued Excellence: Mike Trout continues to make the Midsummer Clbadic his own personal showcase. The All-Star MVP twice made a first attempt against NL's Max

Scherzer, then launched a Jacob DeGrom 1-2 toss on the left-field fence in the third to give the team the lead. AL a 2- 0.

It was Trout's second home run and his fifth extra shot. Only Ted Williams, with seven, has more.

Manny in motion? With the evidence that Manny Machado will be traded before the resumption of the regular season, the All-Star Game could end being the last match in an Orioles uniform

The Los Angeles Dodgers are the favorites for landing Machado, and luckily, the outfielder of the Dodgers Matt Kemp hit a rocket on the left field line and entered the second base with a double standing

Who was there to greet him ? Nothing but the stop-short AL Manny Machado – which meant that it was the perfect time to take a selfie.

Kemp says before the match that he is friends with Machado and felt as if Manny knew he was coming to LA, he would have told him so.

Needing a mulligan: National League first baseman Joey Votto had the chance to end a Segura pitch before his homerun [19659014] Votto made a long run as the big fly came down to the side of the railing and that she hit the heel of her glove. The former Gold Glover let him float for a second and bounced, just escaping his grip. Votto was accused of an error on the game.

When he came to the plate in the next inning, the Reds first baseman received a handful of boos from the crowd.

And even when he sits under a routine at the top of the ninth, fans have still dazzled Votto.
