MLB All-Star Game
Grounded Viewpoint
At Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia the American League beat the National League 4-0 in the 96th MLB All‑Star Game, a pitchers' duel that saw AL hurlers record 27 strikeouts (Dylan Cease struck out the side in the first) while Cody Bellinger and Ben Rice provided early runs and Miguel Vargas hit the lone extra‑base blow. The night included a five‑minute patriotic tribute narrated by J.K. Simmons, fan‑zone festivities tied to the Home Run Derby, broadcast coverage on Fox with a star analyst team, a precautionary exit for Junior Caminero after being hit on the hand (X‑rays negative), and attention on roster depth, high‑velocity arms, and betting angles going into the break.
