Detroit Tigers outfielder Justin Upton made a sliding catch in the bottom of the 10th inning in the 2017 All-Star Game Tuesday night that helped preserve a 2-1 victory for the American League.

Corey Seager led off the 10th for the National League against Cleveland Indians left-hander Andrew Miller and a 3-1 fastball on a sharp line to right. Upton got a good jump and made a sliding catch.
