The 33-year-old southpaw was called upon to protect a one-run lead in the ninth inning, but he made the grave mistake of allowing a leadoff walk to Mark Canha. Drew Waters then reached on an error and Freddy Fermin on a bunt single that loaded the bases to start the inning. After getting Kyle Isbel to pop out, Mark Canha scored on an error by shortstop Jacob Amaya. Bobby Witt Jr. then delivered the final blow with and walk-off RBI single to deep center. The White Sox still don’t have a set closer and even though Tuesday’s chance wasn’t entirely his fault, don’t expect Booser to earn the next opportunity.

Eldridge was sidelined at the end of June with a hamstring strain and missed about three weeks before getting back into game action. He’s 2-for-6 in two games in the Complex League with one RBI and one run scored. He should return to the Triple-A lineup once the All-Star break is over.

The Blue Jays’ former top prospect had Tommy John surgery in August of last year, so it’s nice to see him already getting on the mound in a game setting. He allowed one hit and struck out one while facing three batters on Tuesday. The Blue Jays will be cautious with their 22-year-old prospect and take his rehab slowly, but there’s a good chance Tiedemann will pitch in some Double-A or Triple-A games before the end of the 2025 season.

Treinen followed Blake Snell in this game and allowed a home run to Guardians 3B prospect Dauri Fernandez. Other than that, his day was strong with one strikeout and good velocity on his fastball. He’s likely to return to the Dodgers’ bullpen right after the All-Star break.

Last year’s number one overall pick is working his way back from an oblique injury that sent him to the IL in late May. His one hit on Tuesday was a double off rehabbing Blake Snell, which is not a bad way to get your day started. Bazzana should return to Double-A in short order and could end the season with a few games at Triple-A if he continues his strong performance from before his injury.

Snell authored a strong performance in his first game action since hitting the injured list back in early April with shoulder inflammation. The 32-year-old southpaw will require a handful of additional rehab outings before he’s ready to rejoin Los Angeles’ rotation, but he’s on track to make it back at some point in August.

Bieber looked sharp in his first game action since suffering a setback last month during the late stages of his rehabilitation from last year’s Tommy John surgery. The 30-year-old righty is going to need a handful of additional rehab outings to continue building up his pitch count and stamina, but he should make it back to Cleveland at some point in August.

Schwarber took home MVP honors by launching three clutch round-trippers on three swings during the first-ever home run swing-off tiebreaker after the Midsummer Classic finished tied 6-6 at the conclusion of nine innings. The 32-year-old Phillies slugger’s home run barrage figures to go down as one of the more indelible memorable moments in All-Star Game history.

Rooker slashed the American League’s deficit in half with a sixth-inning blast against Giants reliever Randy Rodríguez that traveled 407 feet. No word on how many inches. He also blasted two big flies during the swing-off tiebreaker, but it still wasn’t enough to lead the American League to a comeback win.

Alonso gave the senior circuit a commanding five-run advantage with an opposite-field shot to right field against Royals southpaw Kris Bubic in the sixth inning. The Polar Bear was called upon to anchor the National League’s three-man lineup in the swing-off tiebreaker, but didn’t end up needing to take any hacks after Kyle Schwarber went deep on all three of his swings in dramatic fashion.

Marte kicked off the scoring by lifting a two-run double down the right-field line against Tigers ace Tarik Skubal in the opening frame. It was his lone hit in two at-bats and represented the lone runs for either side during the Midsummer Classic until Pete Alonso connected for a three-run homer in the sixth inning.
