2025 Major League Baseball All-Star Game
The 2025 Major League Baseball All-Star Game, played on July 15, 2025, at Truist Park in Cumberland, Georgia, ended in a dramatic 6–6 tie after nine innings, forcing the "swing-off" tiebreaker rule into action for the first time in All-Star history. The National League prevailed 4–3 in the tiebreaker (a de facto final score of 7–6), thanks to Kyle Schwarber of the Philadelphia Phillies, who crushed three home runs in the swing-off and took home the All-Star Game MVP award. Hosted by the Atlanta Braves, the game marked the franchise's third time hosting in Atlanta (after 1972 and 2000), with the city having been awarded the event in November 2023 after originally losing the 2021 game to Denver amid controversy over Georgia's voting law. The ceremonial first pitch was thrown by former Braves stars Andrés Galarraga, Andruw Jones, and Chipper Jones, while Aaron Judge and Shohei Ohtani were the leading fan vote-getters for their respective leagues, with Judge earning the most overall votes at over 4 million.
