The NL wins their first All-Star game in 13 years. That's 7 straight loses (yes there was the tie), including 4 straight come-from-behind wins by the AL. This means that the NL will have home field advantage in the World Series, a huge swing in momentum for the NL representative in the Fall Classic.
Brian Mccann, voted MVP of the game, hit a go-ahead bases clearing double in the 7th to put the NL up 3-1. Despite a bottom of the 9th inning starting with a Big Poppy Ortiz single, a great play by Right Fielder Marlon Byrd coupled with shaky base running skills by Boston's slugger, saw the second out instead of the game winning run at the plate.
