This All-Star Game again provided some late-game drama. Trailing, 5-2, and down to its final out in the bottom of the ninth, the NL pulled within a run on an Alfonso Soriano two-run homer, then loaded the bases on three straight walks. Francisco Rodriguez finally slammed the door by retiring Aaron Rowand, sealing a 5-4 victory and extending the AL's unbeaten streak to 11 games.
