MLB All-Star Game
Airing:

Matt Roush says...
Still basking in the glow from America’s 250th birthday celebrations, Philadelphia provides the historic backdrop for the 96th annual spectacle pitting star players from the National League and the American League. Playing on home turf at Citizens Bank Park is NL starting pitcher Cristopher Sánchez of the Phillies, chosen for the position after L.A. superstar Shohei Ohtani and Milwaukee ace Jacob Misiorowski dropped out because of injuries. (Also from the Phillies: outfielder Brandon Marsh and designated hitter Kyle Schwarber, filling in for Ohtani.) Leading off as pitcher for the AL is Toronto Blue Jays’ Dylan Cease, who leads the league in strikeouts. The AL, which has won 10 of the past 12 All-Star Games, hopes to avenge last year’s loss to the NL. So much for brotherly love. Before the game, EGOT Jennifer Hudson performs “America the Beautiful,” Philly native Patti LaBelle belts the National Anthem, and fellow Philly native and Phillies superfan Miles Teller narrates a salute to the sport as an essential part of American culture.
