Summary

The American League defeated the National League 4-0 at the 2026 MLB All-Star Game in Philadelphia. The AL's scoring began with three runs in the first inning, primarily driven by Cody Bellinger and Ben Rice's singles. The game featured dominant AL pitching, resulting in 15 strikeouts and the first All-Star shutout since 2013. The NL could only muster three hits throughout the contest, with Miguel Vargas providing the sole extra-base hit, a home run in the eighth inning. Despite the pitching showcase, the absence of several star players was apparent, an issue that MLB may need to address in the future.
