2025 MLB All-Star Game: Analysis, takeaways from Atlanta​

What a night in Atlanta! For the first time in All-Star Game history, a Home Run Derby-style swing-off determined the winner -- and it was the National League that came out on top 4-3 in the swing-off thanks to Philadelphia Phillies DH Kyle Schwarber hitting three home runs to give the Senior Circuit its second win in 12 years.

The format of the tiebreaker was that three players from each team would get three swings each, and the team with the most home runs at the end would win the All-Star Game. Well, the NL needed only two players to get there.

The AL got on the board first with two home runs from Athletics DH Brent Rooker. Miami Marlins left fielder Kyle Stowers added one for the NL, before Seattle Mariners left fielder Randy Arozarena padded the AL's lead with one home run. Schwarber stepped up with the NL down 3-1 and proceeded to hit three blasts to give the NL the lead and the eventual win, as the Junior Circuit's final hitter, Tampa Bay Rays first baseman Jonathan Aranda, was unable to hit one.

Pittsburgh Pirates star pitcher Paul Skenes started the NL off right on the mound with a 1-2-3 first inning, including two strikeouts. Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte then got the scoring started in the bottom of the first with a two-RBI double off of Detroit Tigers ace Tarik Skubal before the AL was even able to secure its first out -- and the Junior Circuit was never able to fully dig itself out of that early hole after that.

Nobody would score again until the sixth inning, when New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso hit a three-run blast and Arizona Diamondbacks right fielder Corbin Carroll followed up with another home run a few batters later. The AL answered with four runs of its own in the seventh, including another three-run home run from Rooker. The game seemed to be over, but then in the top of the ninth inning, Kansas City Royals shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. hit an RBI double and then scored the tying run himself off an infield single from Carroll. The NL was unable to score in the bottom of the ninth, leading to the tiebreaker event.

From in-game analysis to our favorite moments from baseball's most star-studded night, here's how the Midsummer Classic went down.

Takeaways and favorite moments​

Jesse Rogers: Chicago Cubs right fielder Kyle Tucker was nervous. Not because he was on MLB's center stage, but because he was playing left field for the first time in four years and didn't want to let his pitcher down. That's the respect Los Angeles Dodgers veteran Clayton Kershaw brings when he steps on the mound, as he did Tuesday -- perhaps for the final time in a Midsummer Classic. Kershaw took the ball in the top of the second inning, earning two outs before manager Dave Roberts pulled him to an appreciative crowd. His last pitch was a called strike three on Vladimir Guerrero Jr., fitting for the newest member of the 3,000-K club.

Oh, and, of course, a ball came to Tucker in left field on Kershaw's first pitch of the inning to AL catcher Cal Raleigh. Raleigh sliced one toward the left-field line where Tucker made a sliding catch. It was a sigh of relief for him and the first of two outs for Kershaw, one of the great pitchers of his era. It's almost assuredly the last time we'll see Kershaw in an All-Star Game.

David Schoenfield: A younger version of myself, back when I was a kid rooting for the American League to beat the evil National League, would have absolutely loved this game. What a comeback for the AL even if they did end up losing in the end. Down 6-0, the AL showed all the grit and guts of Pete Rose in his prime and rallied to tie the score. Does it matter? No. Was it fun? Sure, even if it doesn't erase my memory of the late, great Dave Parker throwing out Jim Rice and Brian Downing on the bases in the 1979 All-Star Game in Seattle. But somewhere, there is a kid who will remember Rooker's three-run homer or Witt's double down the right-field line or Steven Kwan hustling down the first-base line to beat out an infield dribbler that tied the score in the ninth inning. Somewhere, maybe a kid fell in love with baseball tonight.

Jorge Castillo: Major League Baseball's tribute to the late Hank Aaron alone was worth the price of admission. The lighting, the footage, the narration, the firework representing Aaron's 715th home run to left field ... it was all incredibly well done and touching, with Aaron's wife Billye looking on. Kudos to MLB for putting that together and pulling it off.

Jeff Passan: Jacob Misiorowski threw a 98.1 mph slider at the All-Star Game on Tuesday night. Both dugouts filled with laughter at the preposterousness of it. Misiorowski's teammate with the Milwaukee Brewers, Trevor Megill, summed up the pitch with three simple words: "Oh my god." Of all people, he should have understood that the rookie right-hander was capable of such things, but then Misiorowski's capacity to amaze and entertain is boundless.

The 23-year-old rookie was the unexpected story of All-Star week, the center of attention in a game featuring Shohei Ohtani and Aaron Judge. He has started five games and thrown 25.2 innings in the major leagues. No player had ever been named an All-Star with such little experience. And yet Misiorowski's eighth inning -- 18 pitches, nine fastballs over 100 mph with the hardest at 102.3, one hit allowed to Aranda, no runs -- made Skenes' stuff look tame by comparison. Misiorowski didn't just look good. He looked every bit an All-Star.

Tuesday’s quiz
Two years ago, when the NL beat the AL in the All-Star Game, ending a 9-game losing skid to in the All-Star Game, Elias Diaz was the MVP.

****************************************

Thursday’s Den: Clearing out a cluttered mind…….​

— Tuesday was a good night for baseball; the All-Star Game was interesting, the new ball/strike challenge system was a success and the game had an interesting, albeit weird ending.
Home Run Derby is a good way to decide the outcome of an exhibition game, especially since one of the teams was out of pitchers. What was weird is that apparently, the players didn’t know the Home Run Derby was going to happen, until like 10 minutes before it happened.
Would’ve been better TV if Aaron Judge/Shohei Ohtani had been in the Home Run Derby, but they were long gone by then. Tough loss if you bet on the American League, losing a bet that way, when no one even knew Home Run Derby was an option.
In the future, I’d kind of want the option to take a push on the bet if the game goes to extra innings. With live betting so prevalent, that should be a choice.

— Dan Iassogna was the home plate umpire for the All-Star Game; does that mean he has graded out the best out of all the umpires this season?

— Corbin Carroll is the first Diamondback to homer in an All-Star Game; Brett Rooker is the first A’s player since Terry Steinbach in 1988 to homer in an All-Star Game.

— In the history of the Chicago Cubs, three players have hit three home runs in a game against the St Louis Cardinals:
1939- Hank Leiber
2003- Moises Alou
2025- Michael Busch
I mention this because all three of those games happened on the 4th of July.

— If you’re looking for a hitter to add in your fantasy baseball league, Giancarlo Stanton has four homers, 10 RBI in his last nine games, with six runs scored, two walks. He is rostered in only 47% of CBS fantasy leagues.

— Major League home run leaders, over the last 365 days:
59- Aaron Judge
57- Shohei Ohtani
52- Cal Raleigh
51- Eugenio Suarez
49- Kyle Schwarber
Schwarber is the first Phillies player since Johnny Callison in 1964 to be MVP of an All-Star Game.

— Famous birthdays, July 17th:
Don Kessinger, 83
David Hasselhoff, 73
Scott Norwood, 65
Bobby Thigpen, 62
Frank Stams, 60
Calbert Cheaney, 54
Kevin Curtis, 47
Mason Rudolph, 30
OG Anunoby, 28
Noah Cameron, 25
Today would’ve been the great actor Donald Sutherland’s 90th birthday.

— It takes ten fouls to foul out of an NBA Summer League game, which is a lot, but it has happened this year.
Memphis Grizzlies rookie Jahmai Mashack, who played college ball at Tennessee, played 23:00 in a summer league game this week, scoring 5 points, dishing out 9 assists, grabbing 4 rebounds, all while he committed 10 fouls. It was a very busy 23 minutes for him.
It was also a productive 23:00-; Memphis was +6 in the 23:00 that Mashack played.

— Grizzlies head coach Tuomas Iisalo is also coaching their summer league team, which is very unusual, but Iisalo only coached nine games with Memphis last year, so he is getting his footing as an NBA head coach.

— Dallas Mavericks rookie Joan Beringer has looked pretty good in summer league, but he’s only played basketball for four years, starting when he was 14 years old and grew out of his soccer cleats while growing up in France.

— Mavericks shut down rookie Cooper Flagg after his second summer league game, after h scored 31 points in that game, after he shot 5-for-21 in his debut. Not really sure why they shut him down; he could use the experience, but maybe they just used his 31-point game to try and promote their new star get fans to buy season tickets

— Wednesday, Bulls beat Milwaukee 102-96 in a Summer League game.
Chicago’s coach was Billy Donovan III, whose father is the Bulls’ head coach.
Milwaukee’s coach was Spencer Rivers, whose father is the Bucks’ head coach.

— Former Marquette/Indiana coach Tom Crean is great as an analyst on TV; has been fun listening to him on summer league games, Sean Farnham, Isiah Thomas have been good too; they just talk about basketball, with a minimum of nonsense.

— It has been hot around here the last couple weeks; there is a convenience store near my house that makes great milkshakes, so I go there a few times a week. Was in there Tuesday and there is a guy in there wearing a Willie Stargell Pirates’ number 8 jersey.
There is no way this guy was alive when Stargell was playing (he retired in 1982) but it was pretty cool to see anyone wearing a Pirates’ jersey these days.

— I love game shows; was glad to see that ABC is bringing Match Game back, with Martin Short as the new host.

— Notes for the Cleveland Browns:
Kevin Stefanski is 40-44 in four years with the Browns, 3-14 last year.
Browns has only 12 takeaways last year, were minus-22 in turnovers.
Browns gave up 66 sacks last year, were minus-25 in sacks.
Former college QB Tommy Rees is the new OC; he was with Cleveland last year, was with Nick Saban at Alabama before that.
Last year, Browns were 3-4 in games decided by 8 or fewer points.
Cleveland was 0-10 in games decided by more than 8 points.
Browns are 7-13 ATS in last 20 games as an underdog.
Cleveland is 4-13 ATS in its last 17 road games.
Under is 11-5 in their last sixteen home games.
This year, Browns are #19 in NFL in $$$ spent on offensive players.
This year, Browns are #6 in NFL in $$$ spent on defensive players, #1 on CB’s.

— It is July 17th, NFL training camps will all be open soon, and the Saints/Browns don’t seem to know who their starting quarterback is going to be. Both teams have rookie QB’s who figure to take over at some point, but when? It is a difficult decision.

— Only two of 32 second round draft picks have signed their contract; Cincinnati is the only team that hasn’t signed its first round pick yet.

**********************************************

Friday’s Den: Umpire trends, and some other stuff…….​

Before I start today, the Home Run Derby after the All-Star Game was fun, but there is no way on God’s green earth that this should become a permanent thing in baseball. No chance.
It is good gimmick for exhibition games, that’s it.

Umpire trends for the baseball season so far:
Home plate umps with lot of runs scored in their games:
over 13-4- Hanahan
over 12-4- Barrett, Barry
over 13-5- Livensparger
over 12-6- Johnson
over 12-7- Fletcher
over 10-5- Bellino
over 10-6- Additon
over 12-8- Wolcott

Home plate umps with not a lot of runs scored in their games:
under 11-1- Ramos
under 14-4- Hudson, Blaser
under 13-4- Libka
under 12-4- Emil Jimenez
under 12-5- Bacchus, Segal, Tichenor
under 13-6- Lentz
under 12-6- Cuzzi
under 11-5- Scheurwater

Home plate umps where home teams have done well:
home 15-4- Clemons
home 13-3- Ceja
home 12-4- Bucknor, Ramos
home 12-5- Blakeney
home 13-6- Diaz
home 12-6- Gibson, Hudson
home 11-5- Barry
Home plate umps where road teams have done well:
road 13-6- DeJesus

road 12-6- Blaser
road 8-3- Valentine
road 11-6- Edwin Jimenez
road 13-8- Carapazza, Morales
road 10-6- Dreckman

Movie of the Day: The Fabulous Baker Boys (1989)- The lives of two struggling musicians, who are brothers, inevitably change when they team up with a beautiful, up-and-coming singer.
Jeff/Beau Bridges are the brothers, Michelle Pfeiffer is the singer, and she sings all her own songs in the movie. This is a very good movie.

— Notes for the Dallas Cowboys:
Dallas went 7-10 LY, fired Mike McCarthy, after they made the playoffs the three years before that. Brian Schottenheimer is the new head coach. Dallas hasn’t played in the NFC title game since 1995.
This year, Dallas is #1 in NFL in $$$ spent on offensive players (#2 at QB).
Dallas is #13 in NFL in $$$ spent on defensive players
Last year, Cowboys were minus-6 in turnovers (22-28)
Last year, Cowboys were +14 in sacks (52-38)
Dallas was 2-5 LY in games decided by 9+ points, 5-5 in games decided by 8 or fewer points.
Cowboys were favored in only 3 of 17 games last year.
Last two years, Dallas is 6-12 ATS as an underdog.
Last two years, over is 11-6 in their home games.

— Famous birthdays, July 18th:
James Brolin, 85
Joe Torre, 85
Dick Shiner, 83
Wally Walker, 71

Jeff Lageman, 58
Anfernee Hardaway, 54
Torii Hunter, 50
Eugenio Suarez, 34
Dinelson Lamet, 33
Kyle Manzardo, 25

— Pittsburgh Steelers signed TJ Watt to a 3-year deal oath $123M, making him the highest paid non-QB in NFL history.
— Washington Commanders signed 36-year old Von Miller to a one-year deal; he played for the Bills the last three seasons. Washington already had the oldest roster in the NFL, now they’ve gotten a little bit older.

— Damian Lillard signed a 3-year, $42M deal to return to the Portland Trailblazers, where he played the first eleven years of his career. Lillard is rehabbing from a torn Achilles he suffered in the first round of the playoffs, so he’ll be out next season.

— If you hear that an NBA player signs a “two-way contract” with a team, it means he will be paid $578,577 for that season, which is half the minimum salary for an NBA player. He’ll split his time between the G League and the NBA.

— If the Tampa Bay Rays make the playoffs, they can host playoff games at their temporary home, a minor-league stadium with a seating capacity of 10,046 that the Bronx Bombers use for their spring training games.
