1937 \u2014 Lou Gehrig drove in four runs with a home run and a double to pace the AL to an 8-3 victory over the NL in the All-Star game at Washington\u2019s Griffith Stadium. In attendance was President Franklin D. Roosevelt.<\/p>\n
1959 \u2014 At Forbes Field in Pittsburgh, the first of two All-Star games played that season went to the NL, 5-4. The NL scored the tying and winning runs in the bottom of the eighth when Hank Aaron singled in a run and scored on a triple by Willie Mays.<\/p>\n

1998 \u2014 Coors Field lived up to its billing as a hitter\u2019s haven as the American League beat the Nationals 13-8 at Coors Field in the highest-scoring All-Star game in major league history. The 21 runs broke the record set in the AL\u2019s 11-9 win in 1954.<\/p>\n
2006 \u2014 Cleveland Indians designated hitter Travis Hafner became the first player in major league history to hit five grand slams before the All-Star break when he connected in the second inning of a 9-0 win over Baltimore.<\/p>\n
2009 \u2014 Alan Embree earned the win in Colorado\u2019s 5-4 victory over Washington without throwing a pitch. He entered with two outs in the eighth and picked off Austin Kearns, who had singled off Joel Peralta.

2011 \u2014 Dustin Pedroia hit a three-run shot and Boston added three consecutive home runs in the seventh in a 10-4 win over Baltimore. Six different Boston players homered, including the three straight by David Ortiz, Josh Reddick and Jarrod Saltalamacchia.<\/p>\n

2011 \u2014 A Texas Rangers fan died after falling about 20 feet onto concrete reaching out for a baseball tossed his way by All-Star outfielder Josh Hamilton during a game. Shannon Stone, 39, was at the game with his young son, who watched as his dad tumbled over the outfield railing after catching the ball. The accident happened in the second inning after Oakland\u2019s Conor Jackson hit a foul ball. Hamilton retrieved the ball and tossed it into the stands as players routinely do.<\/p>\n
2016 \u2014 Colorado\u2019s Trevor Story tied an NL rookie record for most home runs before the All-Star break, homering twice and boosting his total to 21 as the Rockies beat Philadelphia 11-2.<\/p>\n
2018 \u2014 Mark Reynolds homered twice and drove in a career-high 10 runs and the Washington Nationals beat the Miami Marlins 18-4. Reynolds (5 for 5) tied his career high for hits and equaled the Nationals\u2019 RBI record.<\/p>\n
2021 \u2014 In what has clearly been the \u201cYear of the No-Hitter\u2033, five Rays pitchers combine to pitch one against the Indians in the second game of a doubleheader that goes seven innings.<\/p>\n
