My Comment: For the second year in a row, the National League has won the All-Star game and the National League championship team will have home field advantage in the World Series. Prince Fielder was the All-Star MVP for his three-run homer. The line on the Red Sox All-Stars is as follows: Jon Lester did not play because he is on the disabled list; Josh Beckett suffered a "tweak" in his left knee and did not play; Jacoby Ellsbury, Adrian Gonzalez, David Ortiz and Kevin Youkilis played. None of them made any errors and two of them had hits. Youkilis had a single in the seventh inning and Gonzalez gave the American League its only run with a long ball in the fourth. Definitely a pitcher's game today. Now we return to our regularly scheduled program. Onto the second half!

American: Starting Pitcher: Jered Weaver; Losing Pitcher: C. J. Wilson
National: Starting Pitcher: Roy Halladay; Winning Pitcher: Tyler Clippard
National: Save: Brian Wilson
American: Homerun: Adrian Gonzalez
National: Homerun: Prince Fielder
