OpenThread for the All-Star Game

I didn’t watch the Home Run Derby, but I’m glad Vlad won. I hope he’ll get some playing time tonight.

Game Time is listed at 8:00 Eastern, but I’d think the first pitch won’t be for a while after that. The AL has an edge in wins, 47-43 and has won the last 9 All-Star games..

The AL starting pitcher is Gerritt Cole from the Yankees. NL has Zac Gallen from the Diamondbacks starting.
