Baseball is struggling to connect with a younger audience, so MLB All-Stars offered up some suggestions on how to fix that. USA TODAY

Cincinnati Reds first baseman Joey Votto's drop of a Jean Segura pop-up near the seats proved costly as Segura homered later in the at-bat to give the American League a 5-2 lead in the Major League Baseball All-Star Game.

Votto was charged with an error after being unable to make the play in foul territory. Segura, the Seattle Mariners shortstop, followed up with a 3-run home run off of Milwaukee Brewers reliever Josh Hader to give the AL the lead.
