Kyle Schwarber's 3 Homers in All-Star Game's First Tiebreaking Swing-Off Lift NL over AL
UNITED STATES, JUL 16 – Phillies say their critique of Brewers' Jacob Misiorowski's All-Star spot was about his limited experience, not personal, after just five major league games this season.
- The MLB All-Star game between the American and National Leagues took place on July 15, 2025, in Atlanta and ended tied 6-6 after nine innings.
- The game used a home run swing-off, introduced in 2022 to address pitcher shortages, where three batters from each league took three swings off coaches.
- Kyle Schwarber, the Phillies slugger, went 3-for-3 in the swing-off, leading the National League to a 4-3 lead and eventual victory in the tiebreaker.
- Ketel Marte’s two-run double and Pete Alonso’s three-run homer helped the National League establish a 6-0 lead before the American League rallied late in the game.
- The National League won for only the second time in 12 years, with Schwarber earning All-Star MVP despite going 0-for-2 with a walk in the official game.
