Beartooth - For the second straight year, the AL wins the All-star game. This time around the score was 6-3.
The N.L. started the scoring off of Rich Harden with an RBI single from Kevin Youklis scoring Fred Lewis. After an easy 1-2-3 first inning, Roy Halladay struggled for the NL in the 2nd. Vernon Wells had a two-RBI single and then Hanley Ramirez stroked a two-out three run homer. After that the pitchers took over.
The AL closed out their scoring with a Vernon Wells RBI single in the 5th to move ahead 6-1. The NL would get a little closer with a pinch-hit homer by JD Drew in the 7th and a Soto homer in the 9th. But it wasn't enough as the AL wins 6-3.
Rich Harden was awarded the win pitching two innings with five strikeouts. Roy Halladay took the loss.
Vernon Wells (Traded to Jersey in June) takes the MVP with two hits, 3 RBIs and the game winning RBI.
Game Notes:
Earl Sweeney is now 3-0 as an all-star manager.One win as a NL manager and two years as an AL manager.
