Regular-season baseball takes a breather for the Midsummer Classic, but there’s no vacation for the rest of the sports world!

MLB All-Star Break The Miami Marlins welcome baseball’s best to Marlins Park for the 88th MLB All-Star Game festivities. First up, baseball’s best sluggers compete in the Home Run Derby (July 10, 8/7c, ESPN), in which 2016 derby champ Giancarlo Stanton (above) of the Marlins hopes home-field advantage will help his chances at a repeat title. Then it’s the American League vs. the National League in the All-Star Game (July 11, 8/7c, Fox). This year’s game won’t determine home-field advantage for the World Series, which will now be set by the better regular-season record. That’s probably a relief for NL contenders, as the AL won the last four All-Star Games.
