It was a tale of two pitchers for the Giants during the 2025 MLB All-Star Game on Tuesday night at Truist Park.<\/p>\n
San Francisco ace Logan Webb<\/a> and reliever Randy Rodr\u00edguez<\/a> both pitched in the Midsummer Classic with different results, while left-hander Robbie Ray watched from the dugout<\/a> after starting against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Sunday<\/a>.<\/p>\n Webb made his second career All-Star Game appearance this year after pitching one inning and surrendering three earned runs<\/a> in the 2024 showcase. This time around went much better for the 28-year-old, who tossed a scoreless third inning to maintain what at that point was a 2-0 National League lead.<\/p>\n Tampa Bay Rays third baseman Junior Caminero reached on a leadoff single before Webb got Detroit Tigers shortstop Javier B\u00e1ez to ground out to third for the inning’s first out. Then, Athletics rookie shortstop Jacob Wilson<\/a> flew out to left field, followed by a groundout from Tigers second baseman Gleyber Torres to leave Caminero stranded and Webb unscathed.<\/p>\n Webb only needed 11 pitches to get through the four American League All-Stars he faced, topping out at 92.7 mph on the first-pitch sinker that Caminero singled on. Webb threw four sweepers, four changeups and three sinkers while eliciting three swings-and-misses from the four batters he faced.<\/p>\n Rodr\u00edguez entered the All-Star Game in Atlanta with the best ERA among all MLB relievers, but the typically lights-out right-hander wasn’t able to get it done when he replaced Adrian Morejon in the top of the seventh with no outs and runners on first and second.<\/p>\n Athletics slugger Brent Rooker took Rodr\u00edguez deep, driving a 2-0 four-seam fastball over the left-center field wall to break up the National League’s shutout and make the game 6-3.<\/p>\n Rodr\u00edguez then walked Kansas City Royals third baseman Maikel Garcia. He got Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton to line out to left, but then Garcia, who advanced to third base after a steal and an error, scored on a groundout by Royals shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. <\/p>\n After New York Yankees infielder Jazz Chisholm Jr. reached on a fielding error by Atlanta Braves first baseman Matt Olson, NL manager Dave Roberts replaced Rodr\u00edguez with Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Trevor Megill, who got out of the inning.<\/p>\n Rodr\u00edguez was charged with two runs, one earned, in his first All-Star Game across 2\/3 innings of work. But Rooker’s home run started an AL rally, and the group scored six unanswered runs before eventually tying the game in the top of the ninth inning and forcing the first-ever All-Star Game swing-off<\/a>.<\/p>\n It all ended up OK in the end, however, as Kyle Schwarber’s three homers on three swings helped the NL finish the swing-off with a 4-3 victory and the official All-Star Game win.<\/p>\n
