In an exhilarating All-Star Game, Kyle Schwarber shone brightly, going 3-for-3 in the historic swing-off that secured a 4-3 victory for the National League after a thrilling 6-6 tie. This new format, introduced to mitigate pitcher exhaustion, was highlighted by Schwarber's impressive performance, earning him the All-Star MVP title despite a quiet start in the game.

The game began with the NL establishing a 6-0 lead, thanks to contributions from Ketel Marte and Pete Alonso. However, the AL staged a remarkable comeback with Brent Rooker's pinch-hit heroics. The swing-off saw players from both leagues cheer for their teammates, culminating in a jubilant celebration for Schwarber and the NL team.
