The American League defeats the National League 4-0 in the All-Star Game, producing the first shutout since 2013. Dylan Cease starts on the mound for the AL and strikes out the side in the first inning. He is followed by 10 American League relievers, and the combined pitching effort limits the NL to three hits. The AL offense breaks through early against Cristopher Sánchez of the host Philadelphia Phillies. Cody Bellinger is named All-Star MVP after hitting a two-run single in the first inning, and Ben Rice adds an RBI single to extend the AL lead. With the pitching staff maintaining control, the NL is unable to score throughout the game. The final score reflects both the AL’s early run production and its ability to shut down the opposing lineup for the remainder of the contest, marking a standout pitching performance in the exhibition matchup.
