The MLB All-Star game was far from a competitive affair as the National League All-Stars demolish their American League counterparts 8-0. The National League went up early scoring five runs in the first and four in the third inning. Pablo Sandoval hit a three run triple to put the A.L. in a deep hole be they even got to the plate. Former Yankee and Current-Giants outfielder Melky Cabrera was named the game’s MVP after going 2-3 at the plate and hitting a two-run homer in the fourth.

With the conclusion of the Midsummer Classic comes the only day of the year without an MLB, NFL, NHL, and NBA event.
