National League three outs away from a rare win in the All-Star game. Robert Suarez, the National League leader in saves, a 27 this year, 28 this year on to try and get those last three outs. Misses high with his first pitch to Garcia. NL got two runs in the first inning before there was an out recorded four runs in the sixth, writing a couple home runs. All four runs for the American League came in the seventh. National League looking for its second win in the last 12 All-Star games. Suarez to Garcia with a 1-1. All these guys hoping that they make at least one more trip to the All-Star game. There is one guy though who we know is in his last All-Star game. Who we got? Who’s in the last All-Star game? Pause. Go. Fly down the right field line by Garcia towards the corner. and foul. That would be Pete Maches. Pete Machesca, the legendary producer. Pete Machesca, his 21st and final all-star game as the lead Major League Baseball producer here at Fox. We love you, Pete. And we know you are going to miss rehearsing lineups badly. [Music] Pete and Ludicrous and Germaine Dri. The marriage that we didn’t know we needed. Hours of getting ready for pregame and Pete guided the ship as he always does. One, two to Garcia. Yeah, that’s a Baltimore chop left side. Won’t be an easy play. Bare hand up and Suarez makes the play. Oh, we talk all about his power. How about the defense right here? Yeah, this is a great This is Manny Machado. Like this is uh the play that Manny makes and he makes it perfectly. This ball’s first hit off the plate. You’re like, that’s a base hit. But the hop and the throw at him. Only chance right there. Guy not known for his defense. And great to see him staying in the game for many reasons. Him being a keep deadline piece. It’s outside. Ball one on Byron Buckton. Suarez is in his fourth year at his second straight All-Star game. This one’s punched down the line. Buckton with a base hit. Turns around 99. Turns the corner and has a double. And the American League gets the tying run to the plate. [Music] [Music] Well, they leave that big space over there and Matt Olsson can’t cover it. High percentage of fast balls, but this guy can run. Glides. Georgia guy out of tiny Baxley, Georgia, southeast part of the state. So, one gone in the ninth inning. Bobby Whit Jr. represents the tying run. A healthy cut and a miss. in a run with a ground out his first time tonight. 32 home runs last year, 14 more this season on an 01 pitch. Fouls it off and it’s 0 and2. We are in a generation of fatherson greatness that I’ve never I just can’t believe how much the family business has been passed on to their children and the young guys are doing an incredible job in this game. Reaches out, gets to that ball and bangs it down the line into the corner. Bucks in to score. Win is headed to second and it’s a one-run game. Back-to- back doubles here in the ninth and it’s 6-5. And how big is Suarez’s play looking now? Well, these are two identical. Go the other way. Fast ball beats you. But this is what you can do when you put the ball in play. Look at that. Just down with his head, down with his hands, and down the line and down to their last pitcher through the National League. Dave Roberts takes it from Suarez. Edwin Diaz going to come on, try and get those elusive last two outs. Now, the American League trailed this game six to nothing. They’ve battled back to 65. The largest comeback win in All-Star game history. 1955. The National League came back from down five. Al trying to one up that tonight. Jazz Chisum fouls off the first pitch from Edwin Diaz, who had a rocky first month. He’s given up one run in his last 28 innings since that bumpy April. Now he’s got to be careful that Bobby Wit doesn’t steal third base. Representing the tying run with Chisum swinging and missing and it’s 0 and two great speed out there at second representing the tying run. Chism down the line stopped by Olen. A game saving play for the Atlanta first baseman. Up to third goes Wit. Tying run is 90 ft away. And the American League is down to its last show. Jazz can’t believe that ball didn’t get by Matt Olsen, but he makes a great play and saves a chance for the American League to tie up the game. Now, a two-out hit is the only way that’s going to happen. One of the best hit collectors in baseball, Steven Quan coming up as the last hope. First pitch from Diaz. Quan takes high. [Applause] What a night this has been. 65 National League trying to hang on. That’s a strike and it’s one and one. Couple key defensive plays in this ninth inning. So this game seen a little bit of everything. We had the overpowering pitching early in this game of Paul Skins. who’ve had the power at the plate. And now the defense in the ninth. Quan swings and misses. And the AL’s down to its last strike. Diaz throws and hit. Foul. [Music] tried to climb the ladder with a 100 mph fast ball and see if he goes back to that slider that he got down and in to swing over the top again. Quan a contact hitter doesn’t usually swing and miss too often. We’re at third. Two gone in the ninth. The one two is fouled again. Celebration of the sport. Fun way to finish perhaps the speed of the pitches from Diaz. the bat to ball ability of Quan and the tying run just 90 ft away. Diaz wants the catcher Hunter Goodman to go out there to chat. Some defense keeping the National League in front. It was Suarez and it looked harmless enough to open the inning, but backto-back doubles after that and then Matt Olsen saves the day. Steven Quan, one of the hardest guys in the league to strike out, fouls off a couple. Another one, two, takes inside and the count evens up. [Applause] 2-2 puts it in play left side. Going to be a tough one. This game is tied. The American League has come all the way back from down 6 nothing with a pair of runs here in the ninth. They’ve tied it at six. That’s what contact and speed can do. [Applause] We’ve seen a lot of hard hits and this one the softest in this inning. 54 mph exit velocity there. Put in play. Good things happen. Quan with an infield hit to score Bobby Wit. And we’re back at square one here in the ninth. And now you got to pay attention to Quan over there at first base. He runs first pitch and he’s into scoring position for Rose Arena. Ry’s 0 for two and down 0 and two. One of the hottest players coming into the break. Rosarena eight home runs his last 13 games on an 02 takes just outside and a challenge coming here. They’re getting used to this. This is a pitcher challenge. There was a warning that I gave to a lot of pitchers. Be careful if you’re the pitcher challenging a ball. Hey, but he may have gotten it. And that will end the inning. Everybody with a smile. The American League six unanswered runs to extend this game. To the bottom of the ninth we go. National League coming up looking for a walk-off win. [Applause] And the National League will try to walk it off and we’ll try to do it against a Chapman who’s in his 16th year. at his eighth all-star game and he’s tapped back into his best form this year. A 122 RA. That’s the best of his career. Yeah, this guy I mean I don’t even know if he can age. Yeah, I mean 37 years old still throwing a 100. Going to have to earn it though. Kyle Schwarber leads off. Swings and misses. And there was no question about that. So Schwarber and then Tatis and then Donovan. The one outside ball and a strike on Schwarber. The one- one from Chapman. Schwarber bound it bounces it by the bag. Foul and it goes to one and two. Been nine walk-off wins in the All-Star game back to 1933. Last one was in 2008 at Yankee Stadium. A sacrifice fly from Michael Young. The one-two pitch from Chapman. Schwarber breaks his bat on a teardrop left side that’s caught easily by Garcia. Chapman’s been a big part of the Red Sox getting hot. 10 consecutive wins going into the break. Put them right back into contention within a game of the Yankees. Who saw that coming? We were there at Fenway Park a month ago and it was like, h can the Red Sox hang on and even consider not trading people or what? Like a game away from the Yanks. Tatis takes a strike. Well, in one of the most shocking inseason trades uh of a long-term contract, the Boston Red Sox traded Devers to the San Francisco Giants and they haven’t missed a beat. Holl strike two. You could challenge Pete Alonzo is in the cage. This game will not go to extra innings, by the way. If it stays tied, we’re going to explain what’s going to happen. Swing and a miss. Two out. Chapman strikes out Tatis. Yeah, the Giants since getting Des. The offense hasn’t really gotten going. De’s hitting around 200. Red Sox have taken off. Garrick Cos right there who pitched this weekend so wasn’t available to pitch in the All-Star game. He’s been a monster in his first year there. Takes a ball and a challenge coming here from Alejandro Kirk. This is a catcher challenge. What do you think, Bren? This is the kind of pitch that is going to be an adjustment because as the zone is currently called, it’s not a perfect square like this. It’s a human zone and those extreme corners often aren’t called strikes. Overturn though. Let’s Let’s get the board all set up there. Guys have been uh perfect on the challenges tonight. 01 to Donovan. Pokes it foul. Strike two. So, this looks like this is headed to the first swing off home run swing off in All-Star game history. I was part of the tie. Yeah. In Milwaukee. And there will be no more of those. It’s part of what birthed this. And that’s good cuz uh we’re out of pitchers. Yeah. Well, the worst part about that was they announced what was going to happen before it was over and the fans did not like it. Rightfully so. The PA announcer said, “Hey, by the way, if this game remains tied after the ninth, it will end in a tie. We got much better news for this.” Yes, we do. Stay tuned. Chapman trying to go one, two, three. Here he comes with an 02 upstairs. The managers know the three guys that they are going to use in this home run swing off and they’ll let us know once this game completes nine innings. The one-two pitch. Donovan got to be trying to run into one here, right? Yeah. He’s looking for one middle in that doesn’t break away that he can use for that power side and a walk-off homer. You know, every player dreams of it. Another one, two at high and it’s two and two after Donovan. It’s the hometown guy Matt Olsen. It’s another left-handed hitter though to have to deal with the lefty. Chapman Donovan making him work. Seventh pitch coming here. Taps it fair. That is a fair ball. And that is a 66 tie through nine innings. Dan Sonia the call. His work is done. Watch this. This has so much spin. Look at the spin. He’s waiting for it. Waiting for it. Waiting for it. And on the line. He’s like, really? Q ball. All right, folks. Here’s how this is going to work. A home run swing off to decide the All-Star game. Three batters per team, three swings a piece. The teams are going to alternate. And it’s pretty simple. Whoever hits the most home runs wins the 95th All-Star game. The managers know the three guys they’re going to use. They’re going to let us know in a minute. They’re getting the rules, too. This is a first, folks. You’re watching All-Star game history here. Dave Roberts and Aaron Boon getting the details down on the field. And Kevin Burkhart ready to guide us through. All right, KB, take it away. All right, Joe, let’s have a little fun. So, this is a first to make a little history. Aaron, tell me who are your home run hitters tonight. So, we’re going to lead off with Brent Rooker. Then we’re going Randy Rosena and Jonathan Aranda. All right, there we go. The three from the American League. Dave, who’s the National League have in store? Well, uh, Kyle Sters just found out he’s in this contest, so he’s going to lead off. Uh, then we’re going to go Schwarbs in the two and the polar bear will finish in the three hole. Okay, we got a little action here first time. Let’s make some history. Let’s have some fun here. And that’ll come up right after the break. Thanks, Aaron. Thanks, Dave. Brent Brooker, you’re about to make baseball history. The first batter in the first swing off to decide a Major League Baseball All-Star game. describe this feeling. Uh, crazy. I’m nervous. I’m excited though. It’s going to be fun. So, let’s do it. Good luck. Go get him. Appreciate it. All right. So, Brent Rooker and then Sters, you’re going to go back and forth. Rooker and Sters and a Rosarena and Schwarber. Ronda and Alonzo. Three swings a piece. Here’s the first. There’s one at the home run derby last night. Yeah, a little home run derby to end this impromptu home run derby. There’s a shot to left field and there is the first home run. That’s huge. That is so much pressure, right? You want to get the first one on the board. And this guy, man, he’s meant to hit home runs. Flies this one to left center field and Brent Rooker hits two for the American League. And his three swings. That is clutch. You nobody at home has any idea how hard of what he just did with three swings. And he hit the last two for homers. Look at his teammates over there standing outside the dugout, too. Sters is next and Ken Rosenthal has him. Kyle, Dave Roberts just told you minutes ago that you would be leading off the swing off. What was your reaction? I had no clue this was a thing. I’m pretty nervous right now, but it’s it’s fun, you know. Give it my best shot. We’ll see what happens. Kyle, thanks a lot. Just do what you did on Sunday, Kyle. Five for five, three home runs at Camden Yards. 19 to finish off his first half of the season and his first full season in Miami. Josh waiting for his chance. [Applause] It’s a guy that Dave Roberts has known since he was a kid growing up in San Diego. Says, “Go get him, Kyle. Pressure’s on you now. Waiting for that perfect pitch. Dino Eel. Now he’s ready. All right. Oh, he laid off a nasty one. That’s pretty pretty good. Clyde right center. It is shallow and short. the first swing. Two more. It’s a lot harder to read where the ball’s going when there’s no fielders to take it to you. Yeah. Take it to it. Carl Ravage is saying, “See, there’s the line drive right center field. That’ll find the seats. Just got it.” That is so good right there. I’m telling you, he had nerves and they’re a little settled now. See if he can match Rooker with two. This would be epic if he gets this one out. Nope. Man, they’re still in it though. One round in the books. The AL2, the NL1. This next round’s going to be awesome. Here’s the one from Sters. The next guy has never met a big moment that he didn’t love. Tom Verduchi has Randy Rosarena. Randy, they say you love the big moments. Are you ready for this? I I ready 100%. It’s my moment. Go get him. Eight home runs his last 13 games of the regular season. You know, the pressure in in in a shootout in soccer is on the goalie, right? I think the pressure here is on the the guy throwing. Yeah, ready. Going to wait and see. Travis Chapman of the Yankees. Dino Eel of the Dodgers. Guys with the pressure on him pitching. Rosarena. Oh man, I think he wanted that one. He’s got to be ready right now. He’s Here we go. That’s a nice base hit, but you need more than that. There’s a drive off of the bat of a Rosarena. How far does this one go? Plenty deep and gone for the third home run for the AL. This will put so much pressure if he can get the three-run lead. Showing great discipline. First time for Randy. Gets under this one to center. I don’t know. Y falls shy of the track. So three to one midway through the second round. This swing right here is classic Rosarena. He knows it right there. It’s gone. Now we got Schwarber. Yeah. First one. First one that Schwarber can get early. If he can get on the first swing. Look out. He’s going to hit a three. Kenny. Back down to you. Kyle, your whole team is behind you cheering you on. How much pressure are you feeling? Uh, a little bit. I think a little bit’s there, but you know, this is all fun. The boys are having fun with it. and uh you know just hoping to get enough to set Pete up. Kyle, thanks. Good luck. This guy’s been hitting big home runs his whole career. You go back to the five home runs he hit as a rookie for the Cubs in the postseason. Hey, TK Scubble. Uh he finished a long time ago, but he had to come back out to watch him street close. This is like in in basketball. You know how you shoot free throws with your teammates there and then you get a technical and you shoot without a free without anybody there. Hitting right here is the same thing. There’s no outfielders. It’s just you and the pitcher trying to launch one early to get within one. 40,000 eyes all burning holes through you. Schwarber in the air to center field headed towards the wall and gone to dead center. That’s huge for the National League. They’re within one. So there you go. He said if he could get it on his first swing and he did. Schwarb bombs in the Allstar game. Tied at three. That’s MVP material if he gets a third one right here. This guy, if he stopped playing, he’ll be a softball superstar. Pretty darn good baseball superstar. AL rallied in the game. NL has rallied in the swing of with the hattick. Look out, Chop House. National League takes the lead four to three. Unbelievable. Three for three for Kyle Shorber. I mean, he went down to a knee after this one. You just have there’s no words to describe that. That that is one of the most clutch things you’re ever going to see. No words to describe it. And I have no idea how to score it either. Got to put it somewhere in the official score. This is unprecedented, though. All right, so this is going to be up to Jonathan Oronda at his first All-Star game and he stands by with Tom Verduchi. All right, Jonathan, you just watched Kyle Schwarber, your first All-Star game. Last hitter for the AL. Are you feeling any pressure here? I mean, not really. I mean, I I’m just going to step and have fun. Go have fun. Thanks. Let’s go. All right. This is a guy with a long journey to get to this All-Star game. A decade after the Rays signed him, finally making his mark. First full season, he’s been more of an average hitter. He’s got just 11 home runs this year. He needs one to keep this going for the AL. Little lower, he says. Put it in that low left-handed wheelhouse. That’s pretty good. I’m impressed with these guys throwing. Yeah, ice water, man. Aronda looks a fly ball to center field, but not enough on it. and down to his last two swings. One for the tie, two for the lead. There’s a highlininer to right field. It is my that close. Oh my. Last chance coming down to this swing for the American League. Can a force Alonszo waiting for the perfect pitch. Here we go. It’s going to be on this one right here. Oh, Aronda. slices a fly ball to left center field headed towards the wall but short and the National League wins it in the first swing off. Kyle Schwarber wins it going three for three and the National League after watching a 6 nothing lead disappear in the game. Still win this Allstar game with a swing off. Final score is 66. You got to dive into the fine print to find the way they want it. This was the close call for Rhonda. Oh man, tall wall and right. I I haven’t seen anything more clutch. I I’m not I’m just sitting here speechless going, you have no idea how hard it is for Schwarber to go up there down two and hit his first one and then the last one he hits gives him the lead. Man, I think he just stole the MVP from Pete Alonzo. I think he did. Joe, thanks very much. And you know, the last time the All-Star game was at Atlanta 25 years ago, the winner of the MVP was a guy to my right, Hall of Famer, Derek Jeter, who is here with me right now. And Derek is here today to present the Ted Williams MVP to tonight’s winner. It’s Philly superstar Kyle Schwarber. Everyone, well, well, you made some history. What was it like to participate in that? It was interesting. Uh exciting, fun. Uh there’s a lot of guys who deserve this, but uh I’m happy that it’s going home with uh us to Philly. You know, uh take me through when your your thought process. Was it once you got one, do you just get redot like a three-point shooter? What was your thought process going knowing you only had three swings? Oh man. Uh just trying to not hit a home run, I guess. Just trying to stay short because if I would have tried to hit a home run, I would probably hit my guys over there. But uh just happy that it worked out for us and the National League’s going home with the win. You got a great reception though. Guys were jumping on you. It was pretty cool. Yeah, it was awesome and the guys were really into it and uh they were yelling, screaming, cheer me on every swing and then that going that last one goes over. They were they were all pumped. It was It was a lot of fun. It was fun to watch. I got to tell you. Other than that, what was your favorite moment of the last couple days? I mean, I think just being here and just having conversations with a lot of guys. is you got a lot of guys who have been doing it for a long time, doing it great for a long time, and then you got a lot of young guys coming up, uh, who are going to be special in this game for a long time. Uh, so having those conversations and having fun with them and just seeing these guys go out here and compete. Was it the weirdest thing ever to get like an ovation in Atlanta? Did it happen for Philly too often? Uh, no. But you know what? It was exciting. It was fun. So, uh, thank you guys. Appreciate it. Yeah, really cool. Here we go. What a what a what a performance. The home run winner here, Kyle Swarber, the Phillies in the National League gets the W. Congrats, Kyle.
