Last updated: Wednesday, July 15, 2026 4:06AM GMT
PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Dylan Cease struck out the side in the first inning, combining with 10 relievers on a three-hitter in a show of pitching dominance that led the American League to a 4-0 win over the National League in Tuesday night's All-Star Game in Philadelphia.
Cody Bellinger hit a two-run single and Ben Rice followed with an RBI single in the first against Cristopher Sánchez of the host Philadelphia Phillies.
Miguel Vargas of the Chicago White Sox added an eighth-inning home run off the Los Angeles Dodgers' Justin Wrobleski, who was pitching on his 26th birthday, for the game's only extra-base hit. The AL won for the 18th time in 23 games and holds a 49-45-2 advantage overall.
Singles by Juan Soto in the fourth, Pete Crow-Armstrong in the eighth and Otto Lopez in the ninth were the only hits by the NL, which failed to advance a runner past first.
Pitchers combined for 27 strikeouts, 15 by AL hurlers.
Six players represented the Phillies, including Brandon Marsh, pitchers Jhoan Duran, Cristopher Sánchez and Jesús Luzardo, first baseman Bryce Harper and designated hitter Kyle Schwarber.

Junior Caminero exits game after HBP
Update on Junior Caminero
Caminero tells ESPN's Enrique Rojas, "I'm good," as he's walking through the tunnels of Citizens Bank Park after being hit by a pitch.
Junior Caminero exits game after HBP
The game took a scary turn in the third inning when Cardinals reliever Riley O'Brien hit Rays third baseman Junior Caminero on the left hand with a 97.6-mph sinker. Caminero writhed on the ground in pain as a pall cast over Citizens Bank Park. A trainer tended to him before he got up and jogged off the field, straight into the American League's clubhouse. Caminero, 23, is one of the sport's brightest young stars. After belting 45 home runs in his age-21 season last year, Caminero is batting .279 with 28 home runs and a .927 OPS in 94 games for the first-place Rays this season. Now the Rays are holding their breath, hoping they won't be without their superstar -- who is reportedly headed to get X-rays at Citizens Bank Park -- for an extended period. -- Jorge Castillo
