53rd All-Star Game: NL makes it 11 straight wins over AL

National League 4, American League 1

July 13, 1982, Olympic Stadium, Montreal

Starting pitchers: Dennis Eckersley, Red Sox; Steve Rogers, Expos.

Managers: Billy Martin, A’s; Tommy Lasorda, Dodgers.

MVP: Dave Concepcion, Reds.

Highlight: The game was played outside the United States for the first time and four Expos players — pitcher Steve Rogers, catcher Gary Carter and outfielders Andre Dawson and Tim Raines — were in the starting lineup. The AL scored a run in the first inning (an outstanding Ozzie Smith played prevented two more runs), then watched the NL take a lead it would not lose when Concepcion hit a two-run homer in the second inning.
