00:00Welcome to the 2025 MLB All-Star
00:04Game.
00:04So it's been an All-Star series
00:07that recently has been dominated
00:08by the American League.
00:10They've won 10 of their last
00:1111.
00:12Paul Skeen to the Pirates.
00:13I'm telling you you're talking
00:14about a young man who's now
00:16started each of the two seasons
00:18he's performed that doesn't
00:20happen very often.
00:21Strikes out Torres for the first
00:23out as he touches triple digits
00:25for the first time.
00:26One away in this first inning
00:27from one Tiger to another in
00:29Riley Green his payoff pitch to
00:31Green is swung on and missed and
00:33he turns it up to 100 makes it
00:35back to back K's to open this
00:36All-Star game.
00:37I'm just telling you right now
00:39his arm angle and the way the
00:40ball comes out of the hand the
00:41hitters are really at a
00:42disadvantage.
00:43Not too many hitters set up
00:44there feeling like they could be
00:45on a level playing field but the
00:47next guy right here big and
00:49powerful against bigger and more
00:51powerful.
00:51I don't know one judge grounds on
00:53up the middle at second base
00:56over the first to finish off a
00:58one two three first inning for
00:59schemes.
01:00But we're telling it about Tarek
01:01Scuba off at the top reigning
01:03Cy Young award winner 18 and four
01:05with a two thirty nine last year
01:07even better this year and Scuba
01:09goes to work against the National
01:11League home run leader.
01:12Tani flips it into center field
01:14and lead off base hit.
01:15Tani just reaches out and
01:17catches one and a great hand as
01:19Ronald Acuna Jr.
01:21comes to the plate saw him off at
01:24second.
01:25Torres has no play National League
01:27putting a couple of balls in
01:29play and the first two have
01:30reached so first and second for
01:32the National League and Ketel
01:33Marte who starts at second base
01:35for the second consecutive year
01:37for the NL down the line and a
01:39fair ball and the National League
01:41waste no time.
01:42Ohtani can jog in and an extra
01:44base hit from Marte.
01:46Here comes Acuna a two run
01:48double two to nothing NL well the
01:51ball beats the hitter but he
01:52gets it down the first baseline
01:54there's nothing you can do about
01:55that and that speed on the bases
01:57is going to allow two runs to
01:59score but just inside the line
02:01that's what you want as a pitch
02:02you want to give up soft contact
02:03on those first two but it didn't
02:05result in outs and the Freddie
02:07chance is Freddie Freeman
02:08climbs in against Scuba.
02:10Freeman right now over third
02:13Caminero there's the first I was
02:15never going to get an out there
02:17no matter of time no one gone in
02:19his first inning Manny Machado to
02:21the plate.
02:21Ball down.
02:22Oh what do you think yeah.
02:24Yeah I don't know if it can come
02:25from the can't come from the
02:26dugout but it can come from the
02:27booth I think it's going to work.
02:29Let's see Cal how'd you do how'd
02:31you do.
02:31I think it's a strike.
02:33Automated balls and strikes
02:34powered by T-Mobile's network.
02:37That's messed up.
02:38Hey.
02:39Hey you take him anyway you can get
02:41him boys.
02:41There we go.
02:42There you go Cal one for one I
02:44have confidence in you.
02:45You made history too.
02:47It's the All-Star game but it's
02:48the first time in the big leagues
02:50we've used ABS Cal respect.
02:52He wasn't gonna pat it.
02:53Real recognize real here on two
02:55two great catchers you and this
02:56guy.
02:57Yeah, this guy's on the rail.
02:58He's having a great year.
02:59Yeah, you just took out the best
03:01two strike hitter in the National
03:02League Terrick.
03:03Yeah, thank you.
03:04And we're actually going to get to
03:06talk baseball with Clayton.
03:07I can't believe you're doing this
03:08Clayton.
03:09I don't can't either.
03:10I'm gonna try to throw some
03:11cheese real quick.
03:11Hold on.
03:15Hooks it in the air to left field.
03:17And a sliding catch by Kyle
03:19Tucker.
03:22Easy.
03:23That was sick.
03:25Kyle Tucker now with the Cubs
03:27enjoying a great season and
03:29enjoying a great catch.
03:31This might be my last batter guys.
03:33What do you want?
03:33Smoltee what do you want?
03:35Cutter in slider in.
03:36I don't throw a cutter.
03:37He doesn't slider in slider.
03:38Son of a.
03:39Son of a.
03:40Gonna make a match.
03:41That was short.
03:42How about this splitty.
03:43Break out the splitty.
03:44What's the count two two.
03:45This is so weird talking to you
03:46guys.
03:47It's kind of weird for us too.
03:49Poof.
03:49Three.
03:50Hey.
03:51Sit him down.
03:52I think that might be it.
03:53I think that's it.
03:54And Clayton what a year buddy.
03:57What a career.
03:58And what a moment.
03:59Soak it in.
04:00Thanks brother.
04:01One of the greatest that ever
04:02lived right there.
04:03Clayton Kershaw.
04:04Hey that was fun guys.
04:05Thanks for talking.
04:07You're the best 22.
04:09Carlos rode down the Yankees
04:10left hander who's in his third
04:12season with New York two up and
04:13two down in the second.
04:15Pico Armstrong.
04:16You can make a good MVP case
04:18when you consider the full body
04:20of work and you're going to get
04:21a chance to see him right here
04:22as he drops one into the right
04:23field corner.
04:24PCA in the second with a double.
04:27And when I say he's making an
04:28MVP case the caveat is that
04:30Otani's kind of in his own
04:31category.
04:32Yeah it was and he grounded it to
04:33first base.
04:34Guerrero Junior to the bag to
04:36finish off the second inning for
04:37Rodon.
04:38All right.
04:39Coming off a double in the
04:41bottom of the second inning now
04:42is out there in center field.
04:43And this is how the game works
04:44Pete in the All-Star game.
04:45You get an extra base hit.
04:46You get to put the earpiece in
04:48for us and get a ball hit right
04:49to you.
04:50First ball.
04:51Let's go.
04:52Let's go.
04:54That's fun.
04:54It's good to talk to you man.
04:56I mean 23 years old.
04:57You're in your second season in
04:59the big leagues.
04:59Do you ever look around and say
05:01how in the world did I get here?
05:02Yeah all the time this is the
05:05easiest opportunity to do that.
05:08And I'm sharing the outfit with
05:10one of my one of my new best
05:12buds and Kyle so it's special.
05:15I think we're going to get a
05:15moment right here for Freddie
05:17Freeman.
05:17Pete from this Atlanta crowd.
05:19Dave Robbins making the change
05:20mid end.
05:21Spent the first 12 seasons of his
05:23career here in Atlanta.
05:25And manager end of his time here.
05:27Brian Snicker gets a well
05:29deserved hand.
05:30Jacob Wilson to the plate and he
05:32goes after the first pitch.
05:33I got it.
05:33I got it.
05:34Oh shoot you're right there.
05:36Come on done the center fielder
05:37get to take charge.

05:43I peaked though.
05:45I peaked well.
05:46I was like I don't know.
05:49I peaked.
05:50I had a feeling.
05:51That is Jack Wilson who was an
05:53all star with the Pirates in
05:542004.
05:55His son Jacob an all star with the
05:57athletics this year.
05:59The first father son duo to play
06:01shortstop at the all star game.
06:02Now we got them both here.

07:13in Atlanta do appreciate that.
07:15Yeah you got the greeting there.
07:17I absolutely love it.
07:18You faced this Abbott guy pretty
07:21nasty huh.
07:21No he's really deceptive.
07:23He's got some really good stuff.
07:25I mean he's he pitches with
07:28conviction.
07:28I mean he can act the plate really
07:31really well.
07:32He's great location and he does a
07:34great job of tunneling head of a
07:35Rosarito one and two looking for
07:37a one two three six bounce it back
07:40to him coming to you Pete.
07:40We appreciate you Pete.
07:41Have a great second half OK.
07:42Thank you guys appreciate you.
07:43He's bored to open this sixth
07:44inning the National League one of
07:46its last 15 cents that double
07:47from Marte who's pinch hit four
07:48here by Brendan Donovan the St.
07:49Louis Cardinals.
07:50Ground ball left side Bobby
07:51Witt Jr. gets there a jump
07:53for his wide and an infield hit
07:55for Donovan.
07:56This is going to be a real tough
07:57play.
07:58I don't think he really got a good
07:59grip on the ball but I don't
08:00think it was going to matter
08:01playing up the ball and I don't
08:03think it was going to matter
08:04playing up the ball and I don't
08:05think it was going to matter
08:06playing up the ball and I don't
08:08think it was going to matter
08:09playing up the middle and have
08:11to go backhand one of the most
08:13electric shortstops in the
08:14league.
08:15We're talking to Pete you're
08:16mentioning how steady he's
08:18seen this year he talked about
08:19his mechanics being dialed in
08:20this is as well rounded as he's
08:22ever been.
08:23Always had the home runs but he's
08:25hitting two eighty this year
08:26he's showing off that home run
08:27power here.
08:28It is gone.
08:29Pete Alonso goes the other way.
08:32A three run shot to break it open.
08:35The ball to right field here
08:36will go and see the tall wall in
08:39the fence but right field is
08:41where you get the most carry here
08:43in the stadium and not a big
08:45three run home.
08:46Yeah that was great.
08:47I mean it's I mean it's an
08:49unbelievable environment here.
08:51I mean great.
08:52I mean great job from the guys
08:53in front of me.
08:54I mean Toddy had an unbelievable
08:55I beat Donnie hustling out a
08:56single there.
08:57I mean unbelievable base running
08:58from those guys that they set up
09:00the whole situation.
09:01New pitcher new hitter first off
09:03the pitcher it's Casey Mize.
09:05Two outs in the sixth Corbin
09:07Carroll.
09:08Mize to Carroll with the one two
09:10and a high fly ball to deep
09:12right center field Corbin Carroll
09:14leans into this one for a home
09:16run.
09:17Little man but big time pop Corbin
09:20Carroll five ten one hundred
09:22sixty five pounds twenty one
09:24home runs though already this
09:25season and he's got one here in
09:27the all-star game.
09:28Nice play.
09:30And the Diamondbacks mascot loves
09:32it.
09:33Hank Aaron the all-star of all
09:35stars twenty five time all-star
09:37including the first all-star
09:38game here in Atlanta nineteen
09:40seventy two at Fulton County
09:41Stadium where he had a home run
09:43and treated the hometown fans to
09:45that.
09:46By the way that's one of the
09:47coolest things I've ever seen in
09:48my life.
09:49So cool.
09:50Seven fifteen.
09:51We remember number seven fifteen.
09:52So here we go to the seventh
09:53inning.
09:54Alejandro Kirk waste no time
09:56banging a base hit into center
09:57field against Adrian Moreham.
09:59Jonathan Aranda the Tampa Bay
10:01Rays also from Mexico lays off
10:05that's ball for Dave Roberts goes
10:07from one reliever from the
10:09division to another and Randy
10:10Rodriguez who's number one in
10:12the majors with a zero eight
10:13seven ERA it's the best ERA for
10:16a giant at this stage of the
10:17season ever comes home to Brent
10:19Rooker.
10:20It's been tough to hit fastball is
10:23hit hard in the air to left
10:24center field back those towers.
10:26It is gone.
10:28The American League is on the
10:29board on a home run for Brent
10:31Rooker and we bookend honoring
10:34Hammer and Hague for these
10:35guys hammering the ball in the
10:36all star game two home runs for
10:38the National League in the bottom
10:39of the sixth.
10:40And now Rooker launches a sky
10:42scraping blast here in the seventh.
10:45Rooker made it look real easy to
10:48count set on a fastball and then
10:50watch how simple he gets the bat
10:52to the ball.
10:53I mean that is textbook foot down
10:56hips clear.
10:58So did the ball.
10:59There's a ball with a walk and
11:01here's Bobby Witt Jr.
11:02There goes Garcia his teammate
11:04taking it for second and stealing
11:06it as the throw goes into
11:07center field from Goodman.
11:09At the third goes Garcia.
11:11Broke his chain.
11:12With an all star bonus he can get
11:13a new one.
11:15Ground ball pass the mound.
11:17This will get his teammate in
11:18from third and it's a 6-4 game
11:20as Witt grounds out to second.
11:22Two outs in the seventh inning
11:23back to the top of the order.
11:24Chisholm the first knocked down
11:26by Olsen who'll have no play.
11:28Got to be a hit right?
11:30Yeah.
11:31Too much topspin.
11:32Kind of a do or die scoop.
11:34This ball had a lot of spin on
11:36it.
11:37Olsen one of the better defender
11:38first baseman's probably hit the
11:39heel of his glove instead of
11:41that webbing and popped out.
11:42This guy has incredible bat to
11:44ball skills.
11:45He really doesn't swing and miss
11:46much.
11:47You got a power pitcher on the
11:48mound and McGill and this is a
11:49contact first type hitter for
11:51the Guardians.
11:52Chisholm runs and a bouncy ball
11:53left side.
11:54Backhand by Suarez.
11:56That is it for the top of the
11:58seventh National League three
11:59outs away from a rare win in the
12:01All-Star game.
12:02Robert Suarez the National League
12:04leader in saves at twenty eight
12:05this year on to try and get those
12:07last three outs.
12:08One two to Garcia.
12:09Yeah.
12:10That's a Baltimore chop left side.
12:12Won't be an easy play.
12:13Bearhand hook up and Suarez makes the
12:16play.
12:17That is second straight All-Star game.
12:19This one's punched down the line.
12:20Buxton with a base shift.
12:22Turns around ninety nine.
12:23Turns the corner and has a double.
12:26And the American League gets the
12:28tying run to the plate.
12:29So one gone in the ninth inning.
12:30Bobby Witt Jr. represents the
12:32tying run.
12:33Reaches out.
12:34Gets to that ball and bangs it
12:35down the line into the corner.
12:36Buxton in to score.
12:38Witt is headed the second and it's
12:40a one run game.
12:41Back to back doubles here in the
12:43ninth and it's six five and how
12:45big is Suarez's play looking now.
12:47Well these are two identical go
12:50the other way fastball beats you
12:52but this is what you can do when
12:54you put the ball in play.
12:55Look at that.
12:56Just down with his head down with
12:58his hands and down the line and
13:01down to their last pitcher through
13:03the National League.
13:04Dave Roberts takes it from Suarez
13:05Edwin Diaz going to come on try
13:07and get those elusive last two
13:08outs.
13:09With great speed out there at
13:11second representing the tying
13:12run.
13:13Chisholm down the line.
13:14Stopped by Olsen.
13:16A game saving play for the
13:18Atlanta first baseman.
13:20Up to third goes Witt.
13:22Tying run is 90 feet away and
13:24the American League is down to
13:26its last out.
13:27Jazz can't believe that ball
13:29didn't get by Matt Olsen but
13:31he makes a great play and saves
13:34a chance for the American League
13:37to tie up the game.
13:38Now a two out hit is the only way
13:39that's going to happen.
13:40One of the best hit collectors in
13:42baseball.
13:43Steven Kwan coming up as the last
13:44hope.
13:452-2.
13:46Puts it in play.
13:47Left side.
13:48Going to be a tough one.
13:49This game is tied.
13:51The American League has come all the
13:54way back from down 6-0 with a pair
13:58of runs here in the ninth.
13:59They've tied it at six.
14:00That's what contact and speed can
14:02do.
14:0354 mile per hour exit velocity there.
14:06Put it in play good things
14:07happen.
14:08Kwan with an infield hit to score
14:09Bobby Witt.
14:10And we're back at square one here in
14:12the ninth.
14:13And now you've got to pay attention
14:14to Kwan over there at first base.
14:16He runs first pitch.
14:17And he's in the scoring position
14:19for Rosarena.
14:20Not an 0-2.
14:21Ball off.
14:22Takes just outside and a challenge
14:25coming here.
14:26They're getting used to this.
14:27This is a pitcher challenge.
14:29It was a warning that I gave to a
14:31lot of pitchers.
14:32Be careful if you're the pitcher
14:34challenging a ball.
14:35Hey.
14:36But he might have gotten it.
14:38And that will end the inning.
14:40Everybody with a smile.
14:42The American League six unanswered
14:44runs to extend this game to the
14:46bottom of the ninth we go.
14:48And the National League will try
14:49to walk it off and will try to do
14:50it against Aroldis Chapman who's
14:52in his 16th year.
14:53He's at his eighth all-star game.
14:55And he's tapped back into his best
14:58form this year.
14:59Kyle Schwarber leads off the one
15:01two pitch from Chapman.
15:02Schwarber breaks his bat on a
15:04teardrop left side that's caught
15:06easily by Garcia.
15:07Swing and a miss.
15:09Two out.
15:10Chapman strikes out Tatis.
15:12Thought I've been making them
15:13work.
15:14Seventh pitch coming here.
15:15Taps it.
15:17Fair.
15:19That is a fair ball.
15:23And that is a 6-6 tie through
15:26nine innings.
15:27Dan Iasonia the call.
15:29His work is done.
15:30Watch this.
15:31This has so much spin.
15:32Look at the spin.
15:33He's waiting for it.
15:34Waiting for it.
15:35Waiting for it.
15:36And on the line.
15:38And he's like really cue ball.
15:40All right folks.
15:42Here's how this is going to work.
15:44A home run swing off to decide
15:46the all-star game.
15:47Three batters per team.
15:49Three swings apiece.
15:50The teams are going to alternate.
15:52And it's pretty simple.
15:53Whoever hits the most home runs
15:55wins the 95th all-star game.
15:58All right Joe.
15:59Let's have a little fun.
16:00So this is a first to make a
16:01little history.
16:02Aaron.
16:03Tell me who are your home run
16:04hitters tonight.
16:05So we're going to lead off with
16:06Brent Rooker.
16:07And then we're going Randy Orozarena
16:09and Jonathan Aranda.
16:10All right.
16:11There we go.
16:12The three from the American
16:13League.
16:14Dave who's the National League
16:15have in store.
16:16Well Kyle Stowers just found out
16:19he's in this contest.
16:20So he's going to lead off.
16:23Then we're going to go Schwartz
16:25in the two.
16:26And the polar bear will finish
16:28in the three hole.
16:29Okay.
16:30We got a little action here.
16:31First time.
16:32Let's make some history.
16:33Let's have some fun here.
16:34Brent Rooker.
16:35You're about to make baseball
16:36in baseball history.
16:37The first batter in the first
16:39swing off to decide to major
16:40league baseball all star game.
16:41Describe this feeling.
16:42Crazy.
16:43I'm nervous.
16:44I'm excited.
16:45Those can be fun.
16:46Let's do it.
16:47There's one.
16:49And the home run derby last
16:51night.
16:52Yeah.
16:53A little home run derby to end
16:54this impromptu home run
16:56derby.
16:57There is a shot to left field.
16:59And there is the first home
17:02run.
17:03That's huge.
17:04That is so much pressure.
17:05Right.
17:06You want to get the first one
17:07on the board.
17:08Flies this one the left center
17:10field and Brent Rooker hits two
17:12for the American League.
17:14It is three swings.
17:17That is clutch.
17:18You know nobody at home has any
17:20idea how hard and what he just
17:22did with three swings and it
17:24hit the last two for homers.
17:26Look at his teammates over
17:27there.
17:28Kyle Dave Roberts just told you
17:29minutes ago that you would be
17:30leading off the swing off.
17:31would be leading off the swing off.
17:32What was your reaction.
17:33I had no clue.
17:34This was a thing.
17:35I'm pretty nervous right now.
17:36But it's fun.
17:37You know.
17:38Give it my best shot.
17:39We'll see what happens.
17:40Fly right center.
17:42It is shallow and short and the
17:48first swing two more.
17:49Carl Ravitch is saying see.
17:52There is a line drive right
17:53center field.
17:54That.
17:55Oh.
17:56Just got it.
17:57It's so good right there.
17:59This would be epic if he gets this
18:01one out.
18:02Oh.
18:03No.
18:04Man.
18:05They're still in it though.
18:06One round in the books.
18:07The AL to the NL one.
18:09Randy they say you love the big
18:12moments.
18:13Are you ready for this.
18:14I don't.
18:15Are you ready.
18:16100 for saying.
18:17This is my moment.
18:18Go get him.
18:19Here we go.
18:20Oh.
18:21That's a nice space hit.
18:22But.
18:23You need more than that.
18:24There's a drive off of the bat
18:27of a Rose arena.
18:29How far does this one go.
18:31Plenty deep.
18:32This will put so much pressure
18:34if he can get the three run lead.
18:37Gets under this one.
18:39The center.
18:40I don't know.
18:42Yeah.
18:43Fall shy of the track.
18:44So three to one midway through
18:46the second round.
18:47Kyle your whole team is behind you
18:49cheering you on.
18:50How much pressure are you feeling.
18:52A little bit.
18:53I think a little bits there.
18:54But you know this is all fun.
18:56The boys are having fun with it.
18:57And you know just hoping to get
19:00enough to set feet up.
19:0140,000 eyes all burning holes
19:03through you.
19:04Schwarber.
19:05In the air to center field.
19:07Headed towards the wall.
19:09And.
19:10Dead center.
19:11That's huge for the national league.
19:13So there you go.
19:14He said if he could get it on his
19:15first swing.
19:16And he did.
19:17Oh.
19:18Swarbon's in the all star game.
19:23Oh.
19:24Tied at three.
19:26That's.
19:27MVP material if he gets the third
19:30one right here.
19:31They rallied in the game.
19:32NL has rallied in the swing.
19:34Oh.
19:35With the hat trick.
19:36Look out.
19:37Chop House.
19:38National League takes the lead.
19:40Four to three.
19:41Unbelievable.
19:42Three for three for Kyle Schwarber.
19:49I mean he went down to a knee after
19:52this one.
19:53Woo.
19:54You just have.
19:55There's no words to describe that.
19:57That is one of the most clutch
19:58things you're ever going to see.
19:59Your first all star game.
20:00Last hitter for the AL.
20:01Are you feeling any pressure here.
20:02I mean not really.
20:03I mean I'm just going to step that
20:04in a half on.
20:05Aranda.
20:06That's a fly ball to center field.
20:07But.
20:08Not enough on it.
20:10And down to his last two swings.
20:12There is a high liner to right
20:13field.
20:14It is.
20:15Oh.
20:16My.
20:17That close.
20:18Oh my.
20:19Last chance coming down to this
20:20swing for the American League.
20:22Oh my.
20:23That close.
20:24Oh my.
20:25Last chance coming down to this
20:26swing for the American League.
20:28Oh my.
20:29Oh my.
20:30Oh my.
20:31This swing for the American League.
20:33Aranda.
20:34Slices a fly ball to left center field.
20:37Headed towards the wall.
20:39But short.
20:40And the National League wins it in the first swing off.
20:44Kyle Schwarber wins it going three for three.
20:48And the National League after watching a six nothing lead disappear in the game.
20:53Still win this all star game with a swing off.
