The National League didn’t get their first hit until the third inning and they were unable to snap an All-Star Game losing streak that now is at eight years in a row after falling 5-2 to the American League at Coors Field on Tuesday.
One night removed from participating in the Home Run Derby, Los Angeles Angels two-way star Shohei Ohtani retired the side in order in the first inning. That was all for Ohtani on the mound and he went 0-for-2 at the plate.
Milwaukee Brewers ace Corbin Burnes immediately ran into trouble in the second inning as he allowed the first three batters faced to reach, with the stretch capped off by Toronto Blue Jays second baseman Marcus Semien hitting an RBI infield single to give the AL a lead.
