Welcome to the 2025 MLB All-Star Game. So it's
been an All-Star series that recently has been dominated by
the American League. They've won 10 of their last
11. Paul Skeans of the Pirates. I'm telling
you, you're talking about a young man who's now
started each of the two seasons he's performed. That
doesn't happen very often, strikes out Torres for the
first out as he touches triple digits for the first
time. 1 away in this first inning from one
. To another in Riley Green, his payoff pitch
to green is swung on and missed and he turns
it up to 100, makes it back to back
Ks to open this All-Star game. I'm just telling
you right now, his arm angle and the way
the ball comes out of the hand, the hitters
are really at a disadvantage. Not too many hitters
set up there feeling like they could be on a
level playing field, but the next guy right here
, big and powerful against bigger and more powerful.
I one, Judge grounds one up the middle.
That second. to first to finish off a 123
1st inning for Skenes telling it about Terri Skubel off
at the top, reigning Cy Young Award winner,
18-4 with a 239 last year, even better this
year, and Scoopel goes to work against the National
League home run leader. Tony flips it into center
field and a leadoff base hit. Tony just reaches
out and catches one and a great hand is Ronaldo
Cunha Junior comes to the plate. At 2nd,
Torres has no play. National League putting a couple
of balls in play, and the first two have
reached. So 1st and 2nd for the National League
and Kettel Marte, who starts at 2nd base for
the 2nd consecutive year for the NL, down the
line in a fair ball, and the National League
wastes no time. Otani can jog in and an
extra base hit from Marte. Here comes a Cunha
, a 2 run double, 2 to 0 NL
. Well, the ball beats the hitter, but
he gets it down the first base line. There's
nothing you can do about that, and that speed
on the bases is going to allow two runs to
score, but just inside the line, and we're
actually going to get to talk baseball with Clayton.
I can't believe you're doing this, Clayton. I
can't either. I'm gonna try to throw some cheese
real quick. Hold on. Coley. Hooks it
in the air to left field and a catch by
Kyle Tucker. Easy. That was sick. Kyle
Tucker now with the Cubs enjoying a great season and
enjoying a great catch. This might be my last
batter, guys. What do you want? Smolt
? What do you want? Uh, cutter in
, slider in. I don't throw a slider make
a match. How about this split break out the
2 is so weird talking to you guys. It's
holy cow. Hey, sit him down. I
think that might be it. That's it's it.
And uh, what a year, buddy. What
a career and what a moment. Soak it in
. One of the greatest that ever lived right there
, Clayton Kershaw. Guys, thanks for talking.
You're the best 22. He's the board to open
the 6th inning. The National League one of its
last 15 since that double from Marte, who's pinch
hit 4 here by Brendan Donovan of the Saint Louis
Cardinals. Ground on left side. Bobby Witt Junior
gets there is an infield hit for Donovan. This
is going to be a real tough play. I
don't think he really got a good. But I
don't think it was gonna matter playing up the middle
and had to go backhand, one of the most
electric shortstops in the league. We're talking to Pete
, you were mentioning how steady he's seen this year
. He talked about his mechanics being dialed in.
This is as well rounded as he's ever been.
Always had the home runs, but he's hitting 280
this year and he's showing off that home run power
here. It is gone. Pinalonzo goes the other
. A 3 run shot to break it open.
The ball to right field here will go and see
the tall wall in the fence, but right field
is where you get the most carry here in this
stadium, and not a big 3 run homer.
Yeah, that was great. Um, I mean
, it's, I mean, it's unbelievable environment here
. I mean, great, I mean, great
job from the guys in front of me. I
mean, Toddy had an unbelievable IB. Donny hustling
out a single there. I mean, unbelievable,
uh, baserunning from those guys. They set up
the whole situation. New pitcher, new hitter first
off the pitcher. It's Casey Ms. Two outs
in the 6th. Corbin Carroll. M to Carroll
with the 12 and a high fly ball to deep
right center field. Corbin Carroll leans into this one
for a home run. Little man but big time
pop. Corbin Carroll, 5'10, 165 pounds,
21 home runs though already this season, and he's
got one here in the all. Oh nice play
the Diamondbacks mascot loves it. Dave Roberts goes from
one reliever from the division to another, and Randy
Rodriguez, who's number one in the majors with a
087 ERA. It's the best ERA for a giant
at this stage of the season ever. Come home
to Brent Rucker. It's been tough to hit.
Fastball has hit hard in the air to left center
field. Back goes Stowers. It is gone.
The American League is on the board. Home run
from Brent Rooker and we book in honoring Hammer and
Hank for these guys hammering the ball in the All-Star
game. Two home runs for the National League in
the bottom of the 6th, and now Rooker launches
a skyscraping blast here in the 7th. Ground ball
past the mound. This will get his teammate in
third, and it's a 6-4 game as Witt grounds
out to 2. Dave Roberts takes it from Suarez
. Edwin Diaz is gonna come on, try and
get those elusive last two outs. With great speed
out there at 2nd, representing the tying run.
Chisholm down the line stopped by Olson saving. The
Atlanta first baseman up to 3rd goes win. Tying
run is 90 ft away and the American League is
down to its last out. Jazz can't believe that
ball didn't get by Matt Olsen, but he makes
a great play and saves. A chance for the
American League to tie up the game. Now a
two out hit is the only way that's gonna happen
. One of the best hit collectors in baseball and
Stephen Kwon coming up as the last hope. 2-2
puts it in play, left side gonna be a
tough one. This game is tied. The American
League has come all the way back. From down
6-0 with a pair of runs here in the ninth
, they've tied it at 6. That's what contact
and speed can do. 54 mile per hour exit
velocity there and play, good things happen.ha with an
infield hit to score Bobby Witt. All right.
Folks, here's how this is gonna work a home
run swing off to decide the All-Star game. 3
batters per team, 3 swings apiece. The teams
are gonna alternate and it's pretty simple. Whoever hits
the most home runs wins the 95th All-Star game.
There's one. In the home run derby last night
, and a little home run derby to end this
impromptu home run derby. There's a shot to left
field and there is the first home run. That's
huge. That is so much pressure, right?
You want to get the first one on the board
, flies this one to left center field and Brent
Rooker hits 2 for the American League. It is
3 swings. That is clutch. You nobody at
home has any idea how hard of what he just
did with 3 swings, 40,000 eyes all burning holes
through you. Swarber. In the air to center
field headed towards the wall. That's huge for the
National League. So there you go. He said
if he could get it on his first swing,
and he did. Oh Comes in the tied at
3. That's MVP material. If he gets the
3rd 1 right here. AL rallied in the game
. NL has rallied in the swinging. Patrick,
look out Chapo. National League takes the lead.
3 Unbelievable. Last chance coming down to the swing
for the American League. Aanda slices a fly ball
to left center field headed towards the wall. But
sure, and the National League wins it in the
first swing off. Kyle Swarmer wins it going 3
for 3, and the National League after watching a
6-0 lead disappear in the game, still win this
All-Star game with a swing on. Ted Williams MVP
to tonight's winner, it's Philly superstar Kyle Schwarber,
everyone. Well, you made some history. What
was it like to participate in that? It's interesting
, uh, exciting fun. Uh, there's a
lot of guys who deserve this, but, uh
, I'm happy that it's going home with, uh
, us to Philly. You know, uh,
take me through when your, your thought process.
Was it once you got one, do you just
get red hot like a 3 point shooter? What
was your thought process going, knowing you only had
3 swings? Oh man, uh, just trying
to. Not hit a home run, I guess
just trying to stay sure because if I would have
tried to hit a home run, I would probably
hit my guys over there, but uh just happy
that it worked out for us and the National League's
going home with a win. For more on these
