AL bats in top of inning, NL bats in bottom.

Let’s start 1st pitch of the game and Mike Trout rips it down the right field line for a double! Next batter, Matt Harvey, the pitcher has hit 1 batter with a pitch all year and in the all-star game he hits Robinson Cano with the pitch so runners on 1st and 2nd for the AL however next batter and Harvey strikes out Miguel Cabrera! 2 batters later, 2 outs and Harvey strikes out Jose Bautista! Top 4th now and Chris Davis singles to right, Miguel Cabrera to 3rd, AL would score on a sac fly on the next batter. Well, we’ve talked about the NL pitching, what about the AL? Let’s start bottom 1st, Max Scherzer pitching for the AL and Scherzer strikes out Joey Votto! bottom 2nd, Chris Sale pitching for the Al and he strikes out Carlos Gonzalez. Bottom 4th, 1-0 AL, Felix Hernandez pitching and he gets David Wright to ground out to 3rd! Bottom 7th, 2-0 Al, Paul Goldschmidt batting for the NL, he hits it to 3rd and Manny Machado great fielding, spins around, throws a bullet to first to get the out! Okay, Mariano Rivera in his 13th all-star game, comes out in the 8th inning and he is on the field alone as a sign of respect he recieves a standing ovation from the crowd and then, he’s got to pitch! Bottom 8th, 3-0 AL, Jean Segura is the 1st victim, he grounds out to 2nd! Next batter, Allen Craig lines out to left! Next batter, Carlos Gomez and he grounds out to shortstop! A 1-2-3 inning for Mariano Rivera and Rivera was named the MVP!
