This was not what baseball fans were expecting.
Before the 96th MLB All-Star Game on July 14 at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia, fans were talking about how "The Bank" was a hitter's park.
Those thoughts were only validated by the Home Run Derby on July 13. However, the All-Star Game was a pitching showcase, as the American League defeated the National League 4-0.
The American League pitchers combined to throw a three-hitter and limited the National League to just five baserunners. Overall, the NL went 3-for-30. It was the first All-Star Game shutout since the AL defeated the NL 3-0 at Citi Field in 2013.
The American League has won 11 of the last 13 All-Star Games.
