July 10, 1990, Wrigley Field, Chicago

Starting pitchers: Bob Welch, A’s; Jack Armstrong, Reds.

Managers: Tony La Russa, A’s; Roger Craig, Giants.

Highlight: Six AL pitchers limited NL hitters to an All-Star Game record low two hits — a single by the Giants’ Will Clark in the first inning and a single by the Phillies’ Lenny Dykstra in the ninth. Franco’s seventh-inning double off Rob Dibble produced the game’s only runs, driving in Sandy Alomar and Lance Parrish.
