In an All-Star Game that celebrated America’s 250th birthday in the city that’s considered the country’s birthplace, it was the American League pitchers who shined. They combined to allow just three hits and no extra-base hits while striking out 15 in a 4-0 shutout at Philadelphia’s Citizens Bank Park on Tuesday.
After the AL had won nine straight Midsummer Classics from 2013-22, the National League had won two of the last three editions, but 11 pitchers combined to shut down the NL in the game’s first shutout in 13 years.
The AL got out to an early lead with three runs against hometown Phillies starter Cristopher Sánchez in the first, keyed by a pair of Yankees with Cody Bellinger ripping a two-run single and Ben Rice adding an RBI single, before the White Sox’s Miguel Vargas crushed a solo blast in the eighth. Bellinger earned MVP honors for driving in the game’s first two runs.
From a night dominated by pitching, here’s a player-by-player look at the 2026 MLB All-Star Game:

Blue Jays
RHP Dylan Cease: The fourth Blue Jays pitcher to ever start the Midsummer Classic, Cease struck out Kyle Schwarber, Juan Soto and CJ Abrams in a 25-pitch first inning, working around a two-out walk to Freddie Freeman. Fans got to hear Cease talk through his pitch-selection process with catcher Shea Langeliers, as the battery was mic’d up the whole inning.
2B Ernie Clement: The AL’s leading vote-getter went hitless in two at-bats from the No. 9 spot in the order, but he made a highlight-reel play at second base -- against the Dodger who pulled off a defensive gem against him in Game 7 of last year’s World Series. With two outs and nobody on in the fifth, Clement quickly ranged up the middle to stop Andy Pages’ ground ball, then made a strong leaping throw to retire Pages, who (understandably) seemed to think he was getting a single off Rays right-hander Nick Martinez.

1B Vladimir Guerrero Jr: Voted to start in his sixth All-Star Game despite an underwhelming first half, Guerrero declined the opportunity to play and instead went home to Tampa, Fla., to rest his sore lower back.
RHP Louis Varland: Working the bottom of the eighth, Varland came out hot. His first pitch was a 100.2 mph sinker to Nationals slugger James Wood, although it was a ball. Varland caught Wood looking at a curveball for strike three, gave up a single to Pete Crow-Armstrong, then picked up two more outs to complete an 11-pitch inning.
Orioles
C Adley Rutschman: Perhaps it’s fitting that Rutschman, playing arguably the best defense of his career, entered his third career All-Star Game as a defensive replacement in the seventh inning. The Orioles’ star catcher caught a hitless seventh inning, grounded out to lead off the eighth, then worked the rest of the AL’s combined shutout behind the plate. He experienced two batterymate reunions, too: one with former Oregon State teammate Drew Rasmussen, then another with former Orioles reliever Bryan Baker.
Rays
RHP Bryan Baker: The Rays’ latest pitching success story was summoned from the AL bullpen to get the final out of the ninth inning, and he did exactly that. After giving up a single to Otto Lopez, Baker got Sal Stewart to hit a soft comebacker, fielded it cleanly and fired a throw to Munetaka Murakami to seal the AL’s shutout. Then he got to celebrate with Rutschman, his former Orioles teammate.

3B Junior Caminero: Caminero exited immediately after being hit in the left hand by a 97.6 mph sinker from Riley O’Brien while making his second plate appearance in the third inning. The Rays’ star third baseman underwent X-rays, which came back negative. He is day to day, according to the Rays.
DH Yandy Diaz: In his second All-Star Game, Díaz pinch-hit for starting DH Yordan Alvarez in the fifth inning, lost the grip on his bat on his first swing, then went down swinging on a changeup from Foster Griffin. He also struck out in his second at-bat. Go figure -- the AL’s leader in batting average has only had 10 multi-strikeout games for the Rays this season.
RHP Nick Martinez: Making his first All-Star Game appearance about three weeks shy of his 36th birthday, Martinez delivered the kind of quick, efficient and effective inning that’s made him such a big part of the Rays’ success this season. The right-hander retired Ozzie Albies on three pitches, struck out Brandon Marsh with a high fastball, then got Pages to ground out, with some help from Clement. Martinez often says he becomes a fan once the ball is put in play, and he definitely cheered on Clement for his inning-ending effort.
RHP Drew Rasmussen: In his second straight All-Star appearance, the Rays’ under-the-radar ace entered the game in the seventh inning, retired Matt Olson, then struck out Lopez on a nasty sweeper. Rasmussen then issued a rare walk to Stewart, at which point AL manager John Schneider lifted him in favor of Jacob Latz. Rasmussen appeared to thank Schneider on his way off the mound, and Schneider revealed the reason during an in-game interview on FOX: Rays manager Kevin Cash asked Schneider to pair up Rasmussen with Rutschman, his teammate at Oregon State, and the two got to work together again in the All-Star Game.
Red Sox
LHP Aroldis Chapman: The hard-throwing left-hander made quick work of his latest All-Star Game appearance, throwing only six pitches to record the first two outs in the ninth. He struck out Home Run Derby champion Jordan Walker on a 97.6 mph sinker, got Olson to pop out on the first pitch, then gave way to Baker for the last out.
1B Willson Contreras: Fresh off his performance in the Home Run Derby, Contreras entered the game as a defensive replacement in the fourth inning. He smacked a 104.7 mph single off Raisel Iglesias in his only at-bat in the sixth inning, but he was promptly forced out at second on a grounder by Randy Arozarena. He was lifted for Murakami in the seventh.
OF Ceddanne Rafaela: A late addition to the AL All-Star team, Rafaela replaced Mike Trout in center field in the fourth inning and struck out on three pitches in his first at-bat against Dodgers lefty Justin Wrobleski in the seventh. He saw just one pitch and grounded out against Jhoan Duran in the ninth.
LHP Ranger Suarez: After being named an All-Star for the second time, Suarez wasn’t able to make a triumphant return to Philadelphia and instead remained in Boston to undergo treatment on the strained left groin that sent him to the 15-day IL last week.
Yankees
OF Cody Bellinger: Batting with the bases loaded and two outs in the first inning, the AL’s starting right fielder -- back in the All-Star Game for the first time since 2019 -- whacked a two-run single to center field off Sánchez to start the scoring in the Midsummer Classic en route to earning MVP honors. The 101.1 mph single kept the inning alive for his teammate, Rice, to deliver another big hit.

OF Aaron Judge: Voted into the All-Star Game by fans for the eighth time, Judge didn’t make the trip to Philadelphia due to a stress fracture of his right rib.
1B Ben Rice: After falling short (but having a blast) in Monday night’s Home Run Derby, Rice came through for the AL in his first trip to the All-Star Game. After Bellinger’s two-run single put the AL squad on the board, Rice -- starting at first base after Guerrero declined to play -- smacked a 106.8 mph single to center off Sánchez to make it a 3-0 game. It’s the first time since 1962 (Roger Maris and Tom Tresh) that the Yankees had multiple players with at least one RBI in the Midsummer Classic.
RHP Cam Schlittler: The AL ERA leader decided not to pitch in his first All-Star Game but lined up with the rest of the Yankees’ contingent at Citizens Bank Park.
Guardians
2B Travis Bazzana: Talk about a rookie season that’s been unforgettable, from making his debut with the Guardians on April 28 to now playing at the All-Star Game. Bazzana replaced Clement at second base in the sixth inning and went 0-for-2 at the plate, striking out in the seventh and grounding into a forceout to end the top of the ninth inning.
LHP Parker Messick: Messick took over for the second inning and pitched a 1-2-3 frame facing the NL’s 5-6-7 hitters. He got Max Muncy to pop out in foul territory, Ozzie Albies to ground out to shortstop and then struck out Brandon Marsh during a seven pitch at-bat, eventually freezing him on a 94.8 mph sinker for strike three.
RHP Cade Smith: “That’s disgusting,” Bryce Harper said, shaking his head after striking out on Smith’s splitter, the pitch that helped the right-hander to the first All-Star Game in his career. The Guardians’ closer threw a 12-pitch sixth inning that included striking out Harper and Corbin Carroll, who swung on a 99.4 mph fastball at the bottom of the zone.

Royals
RHP Michael Wacha: Making his first All-Star appearance since 2015, Wacha was actually able to pitch in the game this time around and threw a quick, 1-2-3 third inning. He struck out Andy Pages swinging on a changeup, Drake Baldwin looking at a 95.9 mph sinker and then got Kyle Schwarber to ground out sharply to second base.
SS Bobby Witt Jr.: In his first All-Star start, Witt walked and scored in the first inning and beat out a close double-play ball in his second at-bat – so close that it required a long replay review that ultimately saw the safe call stand because of Witt’s blazing speed. Witt was mic’d up in the third inning as his teammate Wacha pitched and talked to the broadcast about his love of the game.
Tigers
C Dillon Dingler: The first Tigers catcher to be named an All-Star since Alex Avila in 2011, Dingler entered Tuesday’s game in the fourth to catch Joe Ryan and spent three scoreless innings behind the plate. Dingler only got one at-bat and struck out in the fifth against Foster Griffin.
OF Riley Greene: When he was named as a replacement starter for this year’s All-Star Game, Greene made some franchise history, too, becoming the first Tigers outfielder since Al Kaline to play in three consecutive All-Star Games. In this Midsummer Classic, Greene struck out twice.
SS Kevin McGonigle: A native of Philly suburb Drexel Hill, Pa., McGonigle grew up dreaming about going to an All-Star Game in Philadelphia as a fan. How about playing in one instead? McGonigle took over at shortstop in the bottom of the fifth inning and went 0-for-2 with a strikeout at the plate.
RHP Justin Verlander: Nursing hip and hamstring injuries, Verlander didn’t pitch Tuesday but soaked in every moment of his final All-Star Game as the AL Legend Pick by Commissioner Rob Manfred. The 43-year-old was mic’d up throughout the game.

Twins
OF Byron Buxton: An All-Star for the third time in five years, Buxton was elected as a starting outfielder for the AL, but he didn’t play because of a nagging hip injury. He still took in the All-Star festivities in Philadelphia, though.
RHP Joe Ryan: Pitching in his second consecutive All-Star Game, Ryan entered for the fourth inning Tuesday and pitched a clean frame. He allowed the AL’s first hit of the night when Juan Soto singled, but Ryan struck out the next two batters – Freddie Freeman and CJ Abrams – before getting Max Muncy to pop out to shortstop.
White Sox
1B Munetaka Murakami: Murakami is doing it all in his first season in MLB. A day after participating in the Home Run Derby, the Japanese slugger entered the All-Star Game in the seventh inning to play first base. He struck out in his only at-bat, swinging at a 101.7 mph fastball from Mason Miller.
OF Tristan Peters: One of the best stories on a surging White Sox team full of great stories this year, Peters has had a whirlwind of a season so far. The former Savannah Banana and journeyman Minor Leaguer latched on with Chicago this year and played his way into a starting role. He found out he was going to the All-Star Game right after he hit for the cycle last Friday. Peters replaced Cody Bellinger in right field in the sixth on Tuesday and went 0-for-1 at the plate, striking out after challenging a pitch that just nicked the top of the strike zone in the eighth inning.
INF Miguel Vargas: Called on perhaps a little earlier than expected when he had to pinch-run for the injured Caminero in the third inning, Vargas announced his presence with a bang in the eighth with a Statcast-projected 433-foot home run off Justin Wrobleski as part of a 1-for-2 night. That allowed the baseball world to catch a glimpse of what Vargas has been doing all season in Chicago, blasting 21 home runs before the break.

Angels
OF Mike Trout: The 12-time All-Star received a huge ovation from his hometown crowd when introduced before the game, as he grew up in nearby Millville, N.J., and is a noted Philly sports fan. The three-time AL MVP earned the honor of leading off the game but struck out in his first at-bat. Trout, a two-time All-Star Game MVP, also grounded out softly to second base in the second inning against lefty Eduardo Rodriguez and hit a chopper to third to end the third, going 0-for-3 at the plate. But it was a memorable experience for Trout, who grew up 40 miles from the ballpark and spent time with his family.

Astros
DH Yordan Alvarez: The four-time All-Star headed into the game leading the AL with 31 homers, 111 hits and 70 RBIs and kept it going with a one-out single to spark the three-run rally in the opening frame. He also flied out to left against Eduardo Rodriguez to end the second, finishing 1-for-2 with a run scored. And while he’s a fearsome slugger at the plate, he has a softer side off the field, including bringing his 5-year-old son Jordan to the ballpark as much as possible.
Athletics
1B Nick Kurtz: The slugger was elected as the starting first baseman for the AL but was placed on the 10-day IL on Saturday with a right thumb capsule strain and was held out of action. But Kurtz, a first-time All-Star and last year’s AL Rookie of the Year, made the trip to Philadelphia.
C Shea Langeliers: The first-time All-Star was mic'd up with batterymate Dylan Cease during the broadcast and helped guide him to strike out three of the four batters he faced in the first inning. He also walked in the first following an Alvarez single and lined a sharp single into center to lead off the third. The 28-year-old went 1-for-1 with a walk and is reaching his potential after being acquired in a trade with the Braves in 2022. He became the first Athletics catcher to be an All-Star since Terry Steinbach in 1989.

Mariners
OF Randy Arozarena: An All-Star for the second straight season and the third time in his career, Arozarena came into the game as a defensive replacement in the fifth inning and grounded out to shortstop to end the sixth inning. He added a one-out single in the ninth to go 1-for-2. Arozarena is the 15th player in franchise history to be a multi-time All-Star and credited a change in his mentality at the plate for another strong year offensively.
Rangers
LHP Jacob Latz: With a tough lefty at the plate in the seventh in Luis Arraez, Latz was brought in with one on and two outs and struck Arraez out to end the inning. A first-time All-Star at 30 years old, Latz competed for a spot in the rotation in Spring Training but after losing out to Kumar Rocker, he worked his way into the closer role. Latz continued the club’s seven-year streak of sending a pitcher to the All-Star Game and has embraced his new role as a high-leverage reliever with a 1.61 ERA and 18 saves in 35 appearances.
Braves
2B Ozzie Albies: Like his Braves teammates, a bemused Albies received some of the loudest boos from the Phillies' faithful during player introductions. The four-time All-Star started at second base and batted sixth, going hitless in two at-bats. In the second inning, he grounded out to short against Parker Messick. Albies grounded out to first to open the fifth against Nick Martinez.
C Drake Baldwin: First-time All-Star Baldwin caught Cristopher Sánchez, Eduardo Rodriguez and Riley O'Brien over the first three innings and hit ninth in the NL’s lineup. In his lone at-bat, he struck out on three pitches, taking a called third strike on Michael Wacha's 95.9 mph four-seamer, which clipped the outside corner for the second out in the third.
RHP Raisel Iglesias: Iglesias made the most of his long-awaited All-Star debut, notching a scoreless sixth inning on 14 pitches. Atlanta's closer induced a groundout to second from Kevin McGonigle and a lineout to left from Cody Bellinger. Following a single by Willson Contreras, Iglesias got Randy Arozarena to ground into a forceout to end the frame.
1B Matt Olson: How appropriate that Olson, who replaced Freddie Freeman in Atlanta, took over for him on defense in the fifth inning. The four-time All-Star flied out to left against Drew Rasmussen to lead off the seventh, then popped out to short against Aroldis Chapman in the ninth.
LHP Chris Sale: Although available to pitch, Sale did not take the mound in his 10th Midsummer Classic (second behind Mike Trout for most among active players) in front of a division rival’s home crowd.

Marlins
SS Otto Lopez: Lopez, who became the first Marlins shortstop named an All-Star since Hanley Ramirez in 2010, took over for CJ Abrams at short to open the sixth and settled into the cleanup spot. He struck out swinging on a sweeper from Drew Rasmussen to conclude a six-pitch at-bat in the seventh, then extended the game with a two-out single to right against Bryan Baker in the ninth.
RHP Max Meyer: The first-time All-Star wasn’t available to pitch as the Marlins monitor his workload after he had already surpassed his single-season career highs for innings and starts, but he took part in the All-Star festivities.
Mets
OF Juan Soto: Batting second and starting in left field, Soto smirked as boos rained down during player introductions. He swung and missed on a 98 mph four-seamer from Dylan Cease in the first, offering an exasperated look as he walked back to the dugout. Soto later broke up the AL's no-hitter with a single up the middle against Joe Ryan to open the fourth. His second All-Star start and fifth appearance would come to a close when he was replaced on defense in the fifth.
Nationals
SS CJ Abrams: Abrams, who joined Ernie Banks as the only shortstops to hit cleanup for the NL in the All-Star Game, chased Dylan Cease's slider to end the first inning and couldn't make contact on Joe Ryan's 95.5 mph four-seamer for the second out of the fourth. Abrams' second All-Star appearance came to an end when Otto Lopez took over for him on defense to begin the sixth inning.
OF James Wood: Back-to-back All-Star Wood replaced Brandon Marsh in right field in the sixth inning. He took a called third strike on Louis Varland's knuckle curve to cap a six-pitch at-bat to open the eighth.
LHP Foster Griffin: From three seasons in Japan to the Midsummer Classic, 30-year-old rookie Griffin proved he belongs by tossing a perfect fifth inning on 10 pitches. He fanned AL batting average leader Yandy Díaz and Dillon Dingler -- both on his changeup -- before getting Miguel Vargas to line out to center.
Phillies
RHP Jhoan Duran: NL manager Dave Roberts brought in first-time All-Star Duran with one out in the ninth, and he wasted no time flashing triple digits with a 100.3 mph offering on his first pitch. Though Duran allowed a single to Randy Arozarena, he induced consecutive groundouts to wrap up a four-pitch outing. Duran's appearance made the Phillies 6-for-6 in getting into the game.
1B Bryce Harper: There are few better ambassadors for the game than nine-time All-Star Harper, so moments before first pitch, Harper participated in an on-field interview with Ken Rosenthal explaining why Phillies fans are the "best fans in the world” and that “they show out for us every night." When Harper entered the game as a pinch-hitter for Schwarber in the sixth, he received a standing ovation from the hometown crowd. It was an eventful at-bat for a mic'd Harper, who asked for an ABS challenge -- for the sake of having one in the exhibition. On the next pitch, he chased Cade Smith's splitter for the strikeout, commenting, "That’s disgusting" on his walk back to the dugout.

LHP Jesús Luzardo: Added to the roster as a replacement, Luzardo showcased some of the All-Star Game’s best stuff. In his All-Star debut, Luzardo needed just six pitches to retire the AL in order in the fourth, striking out Riley Greene on a sweeper out of the zone and inducing groundouts to third from Ernie Clement and Mike Trout on consecutive pitches. His 98.9 mph sinker to Trout was the fastest pitch of the game at the time.
OF Brandon Marsh: Marsh, starting in right field and batting seventh in his first All-Star Game, saw 14 pitches between two at-bats, but struck out in both of them. He stared at Parker Messick's sinker to end the second inning, then swung through Nick Martinez's four-seamer in the fifth.
LHP Cristopher Sánchez: Two-time All-Star Sánchez became the first Phillies pitcher since Roy Halladay in 2011 and the seventh pitcher in Phillies history to start a Midsummer Classic, and he did so in front of the home crowd. Things began and ended promisingly, with Sánchez striking out Millville, N.J., native Mike Trout and Riley Greene on his trademark changeup. It's what happened in between that cost Sánchez three runs in a 34-pitch first inning, as he struggled to find a putaway offering and issued two walks. With two outs, Yankees teammates Cody Bellinger and Ben Rice produced back-to-back run-scoring singles up the middle against him.
DH Kyle Schwarber: Some of the biggest cheers of the night were for four-time All-Star Schwarber, who was the runner-up at Monday's Home Run Derby and led off for the NL Tuesday. He struck out on a nasty slider from Dylan Cease to cap a seven-pitch at-bat in the first, then experienced a "technology break" his next time up while mic'd. With help from catcher Shea Langeliers, Schwarber reinserted his earpiece and self-deprecatingly said: "Let’s see how this goes. Hopefully better than the first one." Schwarber did his best to get the broadcast booth a hit, but he sharply grounded out to second against Michael Wacha to end the third.

Brewers
C William Contreras: Now a three-time All-Star, Contreras took over behind the plate for the NL in the fourth inning with Luzardo on the hill. The Brewers’ catcher flew out to right field against Smith, the Guardians’ dominant reliever, in the sixth.
RHP Jacob Misiorowski: The Brewers’ flamethrowing ace did not pitch in the All-Star Game, prioritizing rest ahead of an important second half for the NL Central leaders. On the red carpet before the Midsummer Classic, Misiorowski looked dapper in a three-piece suit that included a photo of his dog, Ember, stitched into the inner lining. During the second inning, the Brewers’ pitcher was mic’d up, along with Justin Verlander and Schlittler.

Cardinals
RHP Riley O’Brien: In his first All-Star appearance, the Cardinals’ breakout closer handled the third inning for the NL. While O’Brien did not allow a run and ended with a strikeout of Rice, the right-hander was also part of an unfortunate moment. An up-and-in pitch to Caminero hit the Rays’ star on his left hand, forcing the slugger to immediately leave the game.
OF Jordan Walker: After taking down Schwarber to win the Home Run Derby -- the first Cardinals player to win the event – Walker made a late entrance in his first career All-Star Game. The Cards’ star outfielder took over in left field in the eighth and then stepped to the plate to lead off the bottom of the ninth, striking out against Chapman.
DH Iván Herrera: In the eighth inning, Herrera pinch-hit for Harper and grounded out in his lone at-bat. It was the first All-Star trip for the Cardinals’ catcher/DH after he was named to the roster as a replacement. This has been a breakout year for Herrera, who ranks seventh in the NL in on-base percentage (.381).
Cubs
OF Pete Crow-Armstrong: Chicago’s electric center fielder was mic’d up in the eighth inning of the All-Star Game and let out an, “Oh god,” as Vargas’ monster homer off Dodgers lefty Justin Wrobleski sailed out to left field. While Crow-Armstrong (making his second All-Star appearance) was the lone Cubs representative, the city of Chicago had four total with three on hand from the White Sox.
“That’s just good for the city -- it really is,” said Crow-Armstrong, who later delivered a single in the bottom of the eighth. “And they’re such a fun, young team. [White Sox manager Will] Venable is doing a killer job over there. And then you throw the Bears in the mix, Chicago’s in a really nice spot, sports wise.”

Pirates
RHP Braxton Ashcraft: A first-time All-Star, Ashcraft did not appear in the All-Star Game due to pitching on Saturday for the Pirates and dealing with a blister issue. The righty heads into the second half with a 3.49 ERA and 128 strikeouts in 113 1/3 innings for Pittsburgh.
RHP Paul Skenes: The ace of the Pirates’ staff started for the NL in each of the previous two All-Star Games and became the fourth pitcher in MLB history to make an All-Star team in each of his first three seasons. Since he pitched on Sunday for Pittsburgh, however, Skenes was not available for the Midsummer Classic.
Reds
RHP Chase Burns: The 23-year-old Burns is enjoying a breakout sophomore campaign (11-1, 2.54 ERA) with Cincinnati, but he was not available to pitch in the Midsummer Classic. Burns is dealing with tightness in his right groin and sat out his first All-Star appearance.
3B Sal Stewart: The Reds’ first-time All-Star replaced Max Muncy at third base in the fifth inning. In his first plate appearance, the 22-year-old Stewart worked a walk against Rasmussen in the seventh inning. Stewart had one more chance, but he grounded out to Baker for the final out of this year’s Midsummer Classic.
D-backs
OF Corbin Carroll: This was Carroll’s second straight All-Star Game selection and the third in his first four full seasons in the big leagues. Entering the game as a defensive replacement in left field in the fifth, Carroll’s lone at-bat came in the sixth against Cade Smith, who struck him out swinging. Jordan Walker replaced him in left to start the eighth inning.
LHP Eduardo Rodriguez: Rodriguez was selected to his first All-Star Game in his 11th Major League season, and he made the most of his opportunity. Called on to pitch the second inning, Rodriguez made quick work of it. He got Ernie Clement to ground out to first on one pitch before getting Mike Trout to ground out to second and, finally, induced a Yordan Alvarez flyout to left. In all, it took Rodriguez just eight pitches to get through the inning.

Dodgers
1B Freddie Freeman: In his 10th All-Star Game and sixth as the NL’s starting first baseman, Freeman had two plate appearances, drawing a walk off Dylan Cease in the first inning and striking out against Joe Ryan in the fourth. In the top of the first, Freeman, a Gold Glove Award winner, made a nice play to nab pitcher Christopher Sánchez’s off-target throw and got his foot back to the bag just before Junior Caminaro touched down. Freeman departed the game after four innings.
3B Max Muncy: This was Muncy’s third All-Star Game selection and his first as a starter. He logged four innings at third base and had a couple of at-bats. He popped out in the second inning against Parker Messick and again popped out in the fourth against Joe Ryan.
DH Shohei Ohtani: Ohtani was selected for his sixth consecutive All-Star Game, garnering the most votes (3,341,257) of any player during Phase I of the fan voting. However, irritation in his left knee caused Ohtani to miss the game and the festivities in Philadelphia. Ohtani was scheduled to have the knee drained after Sunday’s first-half finale and is expected to be back in the lineup Friday when the Dodgers open the second half against the Yankees.
OF Andy Pages: As a reward for a breakout year for the National League’s best team, Pages won the fan vote and got the start for the NL in center field, batting eighth. In his first at-bat, he struck out against Michael Wacha, and in his second and final at-bat of the game, he was the victim of robbery. Pages hit a grounder back up the middle that second baseman Ernie Clement backhanded and jumped to throw a strike to first, nailing Pages.
LHP Justin Wrobleski: Wrobleski was added to the NL roster as a replacement for the injured Chase Burns, and he could not have had a better ASG debut then he did when he came on in the seventh. Not known as a strikeout pitcher, Wrobleski fanned Travis Bazzana, Ceddanne Rafaela and Yandy Díaz in order. Sent out for the eighth, Wrobleski allowed a solo homer to Miguel Vargas. Per Sarah Langs, Wrobleski became the ninth different player to appear in an All-Star Game on their birthday. Billy Herman did it twice (1936 and ’37).
RHP Yoshinobu Yamamoto: Yamamoto was selected for the All-Star team for the second straight year and, like last year, was unavailable to pitch after starting Saturday against the Diamondbacks. Yamamoto did travel to Philadelphia for the All-Star festivities and looked sharp on the 2026 Red Carpet Show presented by Mastercard, wearing a black suit with a white shirt and a black crossover tie.

Giants
2B Luis Arraez: In his first year with the Giants, Arraez was selected to his fourth All-Star Game. He entered the game in the top of the sixth and struck out swinging in his only at-bat against the Rangers’ Jacob Latz in the seventh. It was the only batter the left-handed Latz would face.
RHP Logan Webb: Webb was selected to his third consecutive All-Star Game, but after missing some time earlier this year due to injury, he was only going to pitch in the game in an emergency situation. He is scheduled to start during the Giants’ second-half-opening series against the Mariners.
Padres
RHP Mason Miller: Miller, who is in the midst of one of the most dominant relief seasons in baseball history, made his second All-Star Game appearance -- and it was a short one. Brought in by NL manager Dave Roberts to start the ninth inning, Miller struck out Munetaka Murakami on four pitches, all of which were over 100 mph. He was taken out after that at-bat in order to get Phillies closer Jhoan Duran into the game.
Rockies
C Hunter Goodman: Named to his second straight All-Star Game, Goodman took over behind the plate in the top of the seventh sporting a red, white and blue chest protector with the Liberty Bell on it. He was behind the dish when the Dodgers’ Justin Wrobleski struck out the side in the seventh. Goodman was aggressive in his lone plate appearance, swinging at the first pitch he saw from Louis Varland and lining out to short in the eighth.
