Jarren Duran, Boston Red Sox outfielder, became the All-Star Game MVP after hitting a tiebreaking two-run homer in the fifth inning, securing a 5-3 victory for the American League over the National League. This marked the AL's 10th win in the last 11 All-Star Games. Duran's performance, including his role as the fifth Red Sox player to win the MVP award, highlighted his standout season stats with 10 home runs, 41 RBI, and 22 stolen bases. Pittsburgh rookie Paul Skenes impressed by pitching a hitless first for the NL, while Shohei Ohtani contributed with a three-run homer. The game also featured notable pitching moments, such as Oakland's Mason Miller throwing the fastest pitch recorded in the All-Star Game history at 103.6 mph.
