Cool gesture: The Texas Rangers gave starter Nathan Eovaldi the $100,000 All-Star bonus in his contract even though he didn’t make the American League team. Eovaldi has been brilliant this season, posting a 1.58 ERA over 91 innings. He’s one of the most respected players in MLB.

Free at ESPN: The All-Star Game swing-off was a smashing success for baseball. It didn’t matter what it could’ve been because what it delivered was awesome.

The National League won the 2025 All-Star Game via Home Run Swing-Off and the NL players moshed around Kyle Schwarber, who hit three home runs on three swings. That was cool.

Schwarbomb. Schwarbomb. Schwarbomb. Kyle Schwarber went 3 for 3. The National League takes the lead in the Home Run Derby swing-off, 4-3. What a beast.

What is:. Brent Rooker, Jonathan Aranda, Randy Arozarena vs. Pete Alonso, Kyle Schwarber, Kyle Stowers. What could have been: . Aaron Judge, Cal Raleigh, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. vs. Shohei Ohtani, Pete Alonso, Kyle Schwarber.

The All-Star Game will be decided by a Home Run Derby. The participants:. American League: Jonathan Aranda, Randy Arozarena, Brent Rooker. National League: Pete Alonso, Eugenio Suarez, Kyle Schwarber. Each batter will get three swings. The team with the most home runs wins.

The National League was once ahead 6-0 in the All-Star Game. The American League has tied it 6-6 with two outs in the top of the ninth on a two-strike infield single by Steven Kwan. If the game remains tied after 9, there will be a Home Run Derby to determine the winner.

Jacob Misiorowski threw 18 pitches. Half of them were fastballs over 100 mph, topping out at 102.3. He also threw a 98.1-mph slider, which doesn't sound real. He looked like an All-Star.

Jacob Misiorowski is coming in for the National League in the eighth inning and will try to hold a 6-4 lead. He is slated to face Randy Arozarena, Alejandro Kirk and Jonathan Aranda. He said earlier he plans to throw the baseball very, very hard. He is a man of his word.

Tonight at the Home Run Derby, the world gets to partake in what for the last few years has been Seattle’s little secret: The majesty of the Big Dumper. Free at ESPN: How Cal Raleigh ignored the doubts and made himself into one of baseball’s biggest stars:
