The American League MLB will have home-advantage in the World Series for the fourth consecutive year. The selection of the AL won the All-Star Game 4-2 against the team of the National League and won their 11th victory in the last 14 years.
Although the match was played at the Petco Park in San Diego, the host of the meeting was the team of the American League, because of the rotation, which was introduced a year ago. Before the start of the match 42 386 spectators in the stands witnessed political propaganda. One of the performers on the Canadian anthem raised a sign saying “All Lives Matter” and even changed one of the verses of the song to sing a slogan, considered racist backlash against the movement to protect black people in the US, named “Black Lives Matter”.
Even during the match the quartet “The Tenors” spread public apology for the actions of its member Remigio Pereira. The remaining three of the singers said that their colleague has taken this demonstration wilfully and they are distinguished from him. They added that Pereira will not sing in the choir “until further notice”.
However, the star of the Chicago Cubs Kris Bryant opened the scoring with a homer for the NL. The AL team answered with a “solo tour” of Eric Hosmer in the second inning and in the same attack his teammate in Kansas City Royals Salvador Perez added a double shot for 3-1. Later in the game, Hosmer again scored a single point hit, which meant the AL were already in front by 4 points to 1. The last productive attack of the match was in the fourth inning, when the NL scored by an RBI-single by Marcell Ozuna.
Of course, the MVP of the match was Eric Hosmer, who was awarded with the crystal bat. He was also given a brand new car. “My dad needed a new jeep. Hopefully now he will stop stealing my cars,” the man of the match said.
