00:27Batting sixth, playing second base from the Miami Marlins, Luis Arise.
00:34Batting eighth in left field from the Arizona Diamondbacks, but from Seattle, welcome home to Corbin Carroll.
00:42The starting pitcher for the National League from the Arizona Diamondbacks, Zach Gallin.
00:49Now it's time to meet the American League's starting lineup.
00:52Managing the American League from the 2022 world champion, Houston Astros, Dusty Baker.
01:01Batting second.
01:02The designated hitter from the Los Angeles Angels, Shohei Ohtani.
01:10Batting third in left field from the Tampa Bay Rays, Randy Arosarena.
01:16And tonight's American League starting pitcher, warming up, from the New York Yankees, Garrett Cole.
01:25And here we go from your Seattle Mariners, Luis Castillo, George Kirby, and Julio Rodriguez.
01:38Seattle, let's hear it again for your 2023 American League and National League All-Stars.
01:45First All-Star start.
01:46What is going through your mind as you prepare to take them out?
01:50I hope I locate that first pitch to Ron because I have a feeling he's going to come after it.
01:56And I'm excited to work with Jonah and represent the Yankees.
01:59Ronald's going to lead off the All-Star game with a home run.
02:01I didn't tell that to Garrett Cole.
02:03Wow.
02:03I feel like he's going to lead off the game with a home run.
02:05What do you think of that?
02:06I think the same.
02:07I think the same.
02:08He showed it during the season that he can do it, so why not?
02:11All right, so all the lead up, all the pomp and circumstance.
02:14You got that perfect day you think of when you think of the All-Star game.
02:17And you've got Ronald Acuna, Jr., to lead things off for the National League.
02:23Here's an opposite field fly ball deep to the track.
02:27And a leaping grab made by Garcia.
02:30Highlight play to begin the All-Star game.
02:33I tell you what, he was battling the sun big time on this.
02:36You see him look right there and then leap at the last minute.
02:40Acuna has tremendous power to all parts of the park, and what a start.
02:44Here's Freddie Freeman.
02:45All-Star for the seventh time.
02:46In both years that he's been in Los Angeles.
02:49Coles 1-2 to Freeman.
02:51He's popped down the left field line towards the corner.
02:53Rosarito.
02:54He makes the catch.
02:56What a way to begin the Midsummer Classic.
03:00Oh, one great catch in right, one great catch in left.
03:05A Rosarito doesn't waste any time.
03:07I really don't care where a Rosarito would play.
03:10The ball's going to find him, and he's going to do something special every single time.
03:14Mookie Betts starting in center field, 30 years old.
03:18This is his seventh All-Star appearance.
03:22Betts grounds one to second.
03:23There's Marcus Simeon.
03:25There's a one, two, three, first inning.
03:26Ho-hum for Karen Cole.
03:29How about this start?
03:30Garcia and a Rosarito bringing the lever to the All-Star game.
03:35This John is Zach Galen, who's the ace of the Diamondbacks.
03:38Does a nice job without super overpowering stuff.
03:41Keeps the ball down, mixes it up.
03:43I'm sure he had a little bit of nerves in his first All-Star game here.
03:46Simeon, one of those five Rangers All-Stars.
03:49The 2-0.
03:50Swing and a ground ball.
03:52Softly hit the third.
03:53Gobbled up Arnato.
03:54And throws out Marcus Simeon.
03:56And there's one away.
03:58How about this dude coming up here?
03:59What are your thoughts on Shohei Ohtani?
04:01Have you ever heard of him?
04:01He's a pretty good player.
04:05I wish I could do that.
04:07But there's only one Shohei.
04:10Very, very scary.
04:12Back of a pitch right there from Zach Galen.
04:14He's sitting down two away.
04:15Two balls and one strike on Randy Rosarena.
04:18Yeah, he can go grab his boots if you do that.
04:21Yeah, that's what I should do.
04:22I should have someone take his boots out of his box.
04:24Darn it.
04:25That's a lot.
04:26He's sitting left.
04:2711-0, Freddie.
04:28That is not fair.
04:34Hey, you can't take hits away and get hits.
04:37You've got to pick one.
04:38That is not fair.
04:40That's a great start to your game.
04:41Yeah, real good.
04:44Yeah, only five batters into the game.
04:46We've got an early MVP candidate for the All-Star game.
04:49Oh, and he's running.
04:51Right out.
04:51Takes it.
04:52Oh, and it's time.
04:54How about that shot from Murphy and 10 from RC?
04:58Take that.
05:00What do you think, guys?
05:02I like it.
05:02I like it.
05:03I like it.
05:04I like it.
05:05I like it.
05:06Playing some defense.
05:08This has been sweet.
05:10And now we've got Corbin Kerr on left field.
05:12Hey again, Corbin.
05:14Hey, how you guys doing?
05:15Are you pinching yourself yet?
05:16Yeah, man.
05:17This is too much fun.
05:19It's been real cool.
05:22High drive from Yandy Diaz.
05:24Head gone.
05:28American League strikes first as Tampa Bay's Yandy Diaz launches a home run over Carroll's head.
05:35Got a hanging breaking ball, and he didn't miss it.
05:38A lot of these guys in this lineup tonight won't miss a hanging breaking ball.
05:42Let's see how that pitch starts in and just stays right over the middle, and he stays flat throughout the
05:47zone with that bat.
05:48Just classic power stroke off of Mitch Keller of the Pittsburgh Pirates, who's had such a fantastic season himself, as
05:57Sonny Gray comes on to pitch.
05:59He's been an all-star three times now, but this is his first chance to actually pitch in the all
06:04-star game.
06:05Down on a nasty pitch here.
06:07Two up and two down for Sonny Gray.
06:10Well, that's the breaking balls I was talking about.
06:13They're real tight.
06:13He can throw a curveball and then throw a cutter off of it.
06:16Here's that downward action, and the umpire will give you a look at what he's looking at.
06:21Walk from Freeman.
06:22Keeps the inning alive for his teammate Mookie Betts, and now chases strike three, and Sonny Gray had it all
06:28working in his inning of work here in the all-star game.
06:32J.D. Martinez swings and misses at George Kirby's first pitch, and he gets a great hand.
06:37He's a Seattle Mariner in his second season, and his first all-star game.
06:42Breaking ball is pulled over third, and a base hit for Martinez, who's two for two.
06:47On his way to second with a leadoff double.
06:49The National League has the time running scoring position.
06:52That was just classic.
06:53I'm going to throw a breaking ball after throwing those fastballs, and he couldn't see.
06:56J.D. Martinez, one of the best in the game at adjusting in the strike zone and making the adjustment.
07:02See how he gets a hanging, breaking ball, but he hadn't even thought about catching up to his fastball.
07:07This guy right here is going to help shape and change the way baseball is viewed in the future
07:13by creating a little bit more contact in the game, but the rule changes, no shifts.
07:19Boy, he's amazing.
07:21Base hit right field.
07:22Luis Arise.
07:22He's seen two pitches.
07:24Has two singles.
07:25On this one, he's tied the game.
07:28Luis Arise drives home J.D. Martinez, and it's tied at one in the fourth.
07:34Arise takes up.
07:35Third down.
07:36Not in time.
07:37He's out of the storm base to his two hits and his run knocked in.
07:41They may want to take a look at this and replay.
07:44Safe!
07:46Ooh, very close.
07:50May have it.
07:51He may get on him right there where the foot didn't quite get to the bag.
07:55Jordan Hyde has got a really good throwing arm.
07:59Arise is saying, uh-uh, I was in there.
08:03The call on the field is overturned.
08:04The runner's out.
08:06Too much video, Luis.
08:07The quality's too good these days.
08:10High definition getting over.
08:12Luis Arise, you know in this game you're allowed to see more than one pitch?
08:16Yeah, it's not only two because I want to hit the ball already because it's hard to see for the
08:21charters.
08:22But I just gone here to enjoy the game.
08:25Tony Winn, Tukaru, this guy, Ichiro Suzuki, this guy tried to hit the ball to the left field, to the
08:30middle, and then put the ball in play.
08:32That's me right there.
08:33I just tried to hit the ball, put the ball in play, and then get my bay hit.
08:37Base it from Austin Hayes.
08:38Josh Young now.
08:40And he grounds on a long third.
08:41Not going to be an easy play.
08:43Austin Riley.
08:44Throw on his teammate in the back end.
08:46Digs it out.
08:47Matt Olsen on an infield full of Braves at this point.
08:51Riley and Arcea and Albies and Olsen all out there.
08:54And the first place Braves on the corners hook up right there.
08:58Yeah, great play.
08:59Austin Riley known for his offense.
09:01His defense keeps getting better and better.
09:03And Olsen not an easy pick, by the way.

09:33Rooker, who took over defensively in the top half of the inning.
09:39Here's the pitch.
09:40Diaz.
09:40Here's a swing and a line drive out towards right center field.
09:44Soto chasing after it.
09:45It's over his head.
09:46It'll hop over the wall and it's an automatic double.
09:49So Brent Rooker in his first All-Star game, his first All-Star game at bat, and he doubles to
09:57right field.
09:57And now the American League with a scoring opportunity, 1-1, but with one out.
10:03Runners at second and third.
10:05Bobachette at the plate.
10:06Infield plays halfway.
10:08And the shot is on the air to right field.
10:10Soto's going back.
10:12Gets there.
10:13But the AL takes the lead on a sacrifice fly from Bobachette.
10:17It's 2-1 in the 6.
10:192-1 game here to the seventh inning.
10:22Jordan Romano is on the pitch for the American League.
10:26Gurriel turns on the ball, launches it down the line.
10:29If it's fair, it's good.
10:31It is a fair ball.
10:33And a home run for Gurriel.
10:35Tied at 2.
10:36And his first All-Star at bat, he hits a long home run here in the seventh inning.
10:43What did that look like from down there, boys?
10:47That was a moonshot.
10:49I've got Poppy's standing ovation.
10:52I think they're going to review this, boys.
10:54What's a review look like, guys?
10:55I don't know.
10:56We had one angle that didn't look like it was a homer.
10:59We don't want to spoil the fun here and take the home run away from the guy.
11:02We don't want to replay getting away at a good time.
11:05Call on the field is overturned.
11:07Oh, heartbreaking.
11:11Julio Rodriguez.
11:14Boy, they sure love him, and for good reason around here.
11:17He is the total package.
11:20The 1-2 from the ball.
11:21Swing and a miss and a high fastball.
11:24That got to be the most exciting matchup of this All-Star game so far.
11:27We've had plenty, but that was awesome.
11:29Diaz has a chance to tie the game in his first All-Star at bat.
11:32He's got a chance to give him the lead.
11:34He's got some power.
11:352-2 to Diaz.
11:36He's hit in the air to deep left field.
11:38Back it goes.
11:40Elias Diaz puts the National League in front.
11:44At 32 years old in his All-Star debut, a go-ahead homer on.
11:50Well, you never forget your first All-Star game.
11:52You are never going to forget your first potential game-winning homer.
12:01Wow.
12:02What a moment for him.
12:04And the National League, which has led for a total of four innings in the last nine years,
12:11has taken the lead here in the eighth.
12:14Merrifield punches it through the hole, and he's got himself a leadoff knock.
12:20And the first one gone.
12:22And Brooker at the plate.
12:23There's a chip for the third.
12:25Riley from his knees.
12:26It's a double play.
12:28How about your Braves teammates, Ozzie?
12:31That's awesome, Riley.
12:32All day long.
12:33We'll take that, Josh.
12:37Hey, baby.
12:38Come on, baby.
12:39Wow, Austin Riley makes the grab, and then from a knee across the diamond between the microphones and a double
12:46play.
12:47Wander Franco, the talented young shortstop of the Tampa Bay Rays,
12:51is to lead off this bottom of the ninth inning.
12:53Craig Kimbrell, the all-star game for the ninth time in his storied career, is on to pitch.
12:58Ninth pitch from Kimbrell.
13:00Turns on it.
13:01Down the line.
13:02It's way back.
13:03It is so good to make the catch.
13:06Oh, man, he just missed.
13:10One gone in the ninth.
13:12Last throw for the American League.
13:14Tucker has hit some big home runs in his career.
13:17Here it comes.
13:18Here it comes.
13:19All four.
13:19How about this?
13:21Hollywood scripts for Julio Rodriguez.
13:25And now we got the hometown kid here with a chance to send him home happy.
13:32Three-two comes home, and Rodriguez takes all four.
13:37Time run into scoring position.
13:39Waiting run aboard, and Jose Ramirez coming to the plate.
13:42Two on, two out, and a 2-2 pitch.
13:45Ramirez swings and misses.
13:47Kimbrell slams the door.
13:49The National League's finally back on top.
13:52Its first all-star game win since 2012.
13:57Fastball upstairs beat him to the punch after slowing him down with some breaking balls.
14:02And he knows that Kimbrell in his ninth all-star game gets the save.
14:07Hard-earned with two walks in this ninth inning.
14:09It's time now for the Ted Williams Most Valuable Player Award, presented by Chevrolet.
14:16And, you know, the last time the all-star game was in Seattle, I had a certain someone right next
14:22to me who won the MVP.
14:23Ladies and gentlemen, let's welcome Hall of Famer, Cal Ripken, Jr.
14:31Thank you so much.
14:33I was very honored to win this award in 2001 right here in Seattle in my last all-star game.
14:41And I'm equally honored to be here tonight to present the MVP of this game's award to Elias Diaz.
14:52Thank you so much.
