MIAMI (AP) The American League can pull even in Tuesday’s All-Star Game.
If the AL wins the game at Marlins Park, it would be the fifth straight time it has topped the National League in the Midsummer Classic.
A win also would knot the all-time series: Going into Tuesday, the NL leads the series 43-42, with two ties.
The all-time All-Star series has been even only once before. The AL won the first three meetings, and it took until 1964 before the NL caught up – the teams were then 17-17-1 against one another.
That was during an eight-year run of NL wins, from 1963 through 1970.
