ARLINGTON, Texas -- On a night when Paul Skenes, Major League Baseball's pitching phenom, toed the rubber for a historic All-Star Game start, and Shohei Ohtani, the sport's brightest global superstar, demolished a home run for the National League, it was a 27-year-old former top prospect enjoying a breakout season who was the difference at the 2024 All-Star Game on Tuesday.

Boston Red Sox center fielder Jarren Duran, a first-time All-Star in his second season as an every-day player, completed the American League's comeback 5-3 victory at Globe Life Field with a two-run homer off Cincinnati Reds fireballer Hunter Greene.
