National League Wins Historic MLB All-Star Game in Atlanta

The 2025 MLB All-Star Game at Truist Park concluded with a historic moment as the National League defeated the American League 7-6 after a first-ever swing-off tiebreaker, with Kyle Schwarber clinching the victory by hitting three home runs. The game showcased strong pitching from starters Tarik Skubal and Paul Skenes, as well as standout performance from Jacob Misiorowski, signaling promising NL pitching talent. Meanwhile, the Philadelphia Phillies narrowly defeated the San Diego Padres 2-1 to avoid a series sweep, highlighted by J.T. Realmuto's decisive eighth-inning double driving in Bryce Harper. Phillies' starter Cristopher Sánchez impressed by allowing just one run over 7 1/3 innings, while Bryce Harper scored both Philly runs, capitalizing on Padres' defensive errors. The Padres' Nick Pivetta also pitched well but was charged with an unearned run, and Jose Iglesias contributed the lone Padres run. The Phillies' victory prevented the Padres from completing a sweep as the teams headed into the All-Star break.
