If you like elite pitching, the 2026 MLB All-Star Game was for you.
Baseball’s 96th Midsummer Classic is in the books, with the American League claiming a 4–0 victory over the National League in the first All-Star Game shutout in 13 years. The game got off to a bit of a strange start, as Phillies ace Cristopher Sanchez, who has pitched to a 0.86 ERA at Citizens Bank Park this year, expended 34 pitches in the top of the first inning while surrendering three earned runs on a pair of two-out hits.
