After nine straight losses to the American League, the National League won the 93rd MLB All-Star Game Tuesday night, wrapping up a week of baseball festivities in Seattle. Among the highlights:
- Los Angeles' starting pitcher Shohei Ohtani, who will be a free agent soon, got a lot of love from the Emerald City and was greeted with cheers and the chant "Come to Seattle" from the minute he stepped into the batter's box.
- Though Toronto's Vladimir Guerrero Jr. won the Home Run Derby, Seattle's Julio Rodríguez made history in his hometown ballpark, scoring a record 41 home runs in the first round.
- Lou Piniella, who was the Mariners' manager from 1993 to 2002, got a rousing ovation as he exited his former home dugout. The two-time winner of the American League's Manager of the Year Award led the Mariners to a record-tying 116 wins in 2001.
