The All-Star Game was a thrilling game which threatened to repeat the quandary of the All-Star Game , in which both teams ran out of pitchers and Commissioner Bud Selig had to decide to call the game a tie.

This time, the game went on into the wee hours of the morning, and position players Evan Longoria and Nate McLouth were prepared to take the mound if the game had not been decided on a close play at the plate in the bottom of the 15th inning. Both teams had threatened to score earlier in extra innings , but had been thwarted by defensive gems and some clutch pitching. Hanley Ramirez led off the next inning with a single, went to third on Chase Utley 's base hit and then scored on Lance Berkman 's sacrifice fly to make it Meanwhile, the first three National League pitchers, Ben Sheets , Carlos Zambrano and Dan Haren each pitched two scoreless innings to put the senior circuit in the driver's seat.

The American League finally got on the scoreboard in the 7th inning, against Cincinnati 's Edinson Volquez. Justin Morneau led off with a double, and with two outs, J. Drew homered to right to tie the score.

Boston's Jonathan Papelbon came out to pitch the 8th for the American League and was greeted by loud booing from the Yankee Stadium crowd. He made the boos louder by coughing up a run after a lead-off single by Miguel Tejada , who stole second base and took third on catcher Dioner Navarro 's throwing error.

Adrian Gonzalez hit a sacrifice fly to put the National League back on top. The junior circuit tied it up immediately on a similar scenario after San Francisco's Brian Wilson retired the first two batters of the inning. Lefty Billy Wagner then came in to face Grady Sizemore and allowed a single.

Sizemore stole second and pinch-hitter Evan Longoria doubled him in. The score stayed tied at 3 runs apiece for the next 5 innings, but not for a lack of trying by both teams.

In the top of the 10th, Dan Uggla grounded into an inning-ending double play with Russell Martin on third base. In the bottom of the inning, both Michael Young and Carlos Quentin reached base on errors by Uggla and Carlos Guillen was intentionally walked to load the bases with none out. Pitcher Aaron Cook managed to wriggle out of the jam by forcing Sizemore and Longoria to ground into consecutive fielder's choices , both resulting in a runner being cut off at the plate.

Shortstop Tejada then made a nice stop on a shot by Morneau and threw him out to end the inning. The American League was at it again in the 11th, as Ian Kinsler led off with a single but was caught stealing by Martin. Navarro then walked, followed by a single by Drew. Young singled and Navarro ran for home but was cut off by a great throw from center fielder Nate McLouth to Martin. Starting Lineups. NL All-Stars. AL All-Stars. Other Info. More Allstar Pages.
