Braun shines; K-Rod struggles in All-Star Game

Cincinnati — It was a star-crossed night for Milwaukee Brewers closer Francisco Rodriguez.

He came on in the seventh inning in a set-up role with the American League clinging to a 3-2 lead in the All-Star Game on Tuesday night at Great American Ball Park.

It did not go well.

K-Rod gave up two runs on one hit as the AL went on to a 6-3 victory over the National League in the midsummer classic.

Mike Trout, the reigning AL MVP who homered in his first at-bat, led off against Rodriguez and walked.
