Hey Athletes! Tonight was the All-star game. The game where 2 teams with the league’s best players duel. Usually All-star games are close, with the occasional offensive explosion. This one was nowhere near close. In fact, it was over when it was 1-0. The National League bats exploded in the first inning, catching Verlander off guard. He did throw 35 pitches, but 16 of them were balls. Melky Cabrera was the All-star game MVP and a performance that included a 2-run Home run in the 8-0 blowout over the American League. Here are some highlight stats from the game.
