Once again the American League has defeated the National League in the annual All-Star game. They have now won this mid-season encounter for thirteen consecutive years. With this victory, the 2009 American League Champion will have home field advantage in the World Series. It was a fairly quick game at Busch Stadium, lasting two hours and thirty-one minutes. Curtis Granderson of the Detroit Tigers scored the game winning run on a sacrifice fly by Adam Jones of the Baltimore Orioles. The MVP was Carl Crawford of the Tampa Bay Rays who caught a potential homerun ball in the seventh inning. And three of the All-Stars from the Boston Red Sox played in the game. Jason Bay and Kevin Youkilis had one single each and Jonathan Papelbon received the win. Onto the second half of the season!
