And 11 years later the national league has flipped the narrative for the all star game. For the last decade the NL has been consistently dethroned of being all-star game victors. But with Mike Trout and Aaron Judge riddled with injuries it gave the NL the better opportunity to seize the win over their rivals. And that they did.

The NL pulled off the miraculous win in the bottom of the 8th inning when Elias Diaz hit a 2R go ahead HR to take the lead that they will never look back from. Elias Diaz was awarded the All Star MVP for his noble contribution to beat the AL.

The NL was posed for success this midsummer classic with how their lineup was going in comparison to the AL. No judge and trout in the AL but the NL is still boosted by the power of Acuna and Betts, two formidable stars representing their league at the top of the lineup. Luis Arraez on his chase to .400 and Corbin Carroll becoming the first rookie to be a starter in the all star game since 2012. Speed and pull hitting is what defined the basics of the NL.

Camilo Doval came in for the win and Craig Kimbrel closed the game out in exciting fashion. Maybe not the most ideal closer in a 3-2 all star game with one on and 2 out and JROD at the plate, but alas the job was done and the NL secured the victory. Both recent times the NL won was held at the hands of the Giants. 2012 the last year was also their 2nd World Series title in 2 years and their star ace Matt Cain came into secure the win. The NL clearly came in hungry with their giant win since 2012
