The AL continued its reign over the National League in the annual session of regular-season games across league borders, taking the 2011 version by an overall count of 131-121. The NL heads into the All-Star Game as the team with the Midsummer Classic crown after ending a 14-year drought last summer, but Interleague Play is one area the AL continues to wear out its counterpart.

Players to watch

Felix Hernandez, RHP (12-6, 2.85 ERA): The King loves hitting in Interleague road games, but for some reason, opponents are slightly more worried about his pitching.
Jason Vargas, LHP (5-4, 2.96 ERA): Vargas has held opposing hitters to a .244 average in Interleague play, which is lower than his own career batting average of .250 in 56 at-bats achieved mostly during his National League days.
Ichiro Suzuki, LF (.332, 12 HR, 56 RBI): Ichiro has racked up 278 hits in 837 Interleague at-bats with a .377 on-base percentage, which is a full career for a lot of players.
Miguel Olivo, C (.269, 19 HR, 64 RBI): Olivo will miss the Rockies series while on the DL, but should be back for the June games. He's put up pretty good numbers in 101 Interleague games in his career.

(b) Defensive interference is an act by a fielder which hinders or prevents a batter from hitting a pitch.
(c) Umpire's interference occurs (1) When an umpire hinders, impedes or prevents a catcher's throw attempting to prevent a stolen base, or (2) When a fair ball touches an umpire on fair territory before passing a fielder.
