The Major League Baseball All-Star Game arrives at Seattle's T-Mobile Park, showcasing the league's top talent from the American and National Leagues. This traditional showdown of baseball's best comes with its share of notable absences due to injuries, including players like Mike Trout, Aaron Judge, Shane McClanahan, Dansby Swanson, and Clayton Kershaw. The American League enters the game on a dominant nine-year winning streak, aiming to extend their success after last year's 3-2 victory, where Giancarlo Stanton (not selected this year) earned MVP honors.
This year's game marks a return to Seattle after over two decades; the city last hosted the All-Star Game in 2001, a 4-1 American League win that also served as Cal Ripken Jr.'s final All-Star appearance and MVP award. The Chicago White Sox's Luis Robert Jr. was a late scratch from this year's game due to calf tightness.
