SEATTLE — The 2023 MLB All-Star Game is set for Tuesday night at T-Mobile Park in Seattle. The rosters are finalized, the starters and lineups have been announced and now it’s time for the fun and pageantry of the midsummer classic.
The festivities begin at 8 PM ET and will air on Fox.
The National League has not won an All-Star Game since 2012 but they won it decisively, 8-0. AL starter Justin Verlander, then of the Tigers, surrendered five runs in the first inning and the NL did not look back.
In last year’s game, the American League won 3-2 thanks to home runs by Byron Buxton and Giancarlo Stanton, who ended up winning the All-Star MVP. Both of the players will not be in the game this time around.
This year, there are 31 first-time All-Stars with 17 from National League. And 10 of the 17 National League pitchers who were selected by MLB are first timers.
