Kyle Schwarber's 3 Homers in All-Star Game's First Tiebreaking Swing-Off Lift NL over AL
ATLANTA, GEORGIA, JUL 15 – Kyle Schwarber hit three home runs in the first-ever MLB All-Star Game swing-off, securing MVP honors and a National League victory after a 6-6 tie, according to MLB reports.
- On Tuesday, July 15, 2025 in Atlanta, the swing-off decided the game, with the NL winning 4-3 after a 6-6 tie, marking the first use of this tiebreaker in an All-Star Game.
- Milwaukee Brewers relief pitcher Jacob Misiorowski was a late All-Star addition after pitching in just five major league games, firing nine 100 mph pitches in a one-hit eighth inning.
- Kyle Schwarber went 3-for-3 in the swing-off, with his final swing landing in the Chop House seats, and Jonathan Aranda failed on all three tries.
- Schwarber was named the Ted Williams All-Star Game MVP presented by Chevrolet, and `It was awesome`, Schwarber said.
- MLB could adopt the automatic balls-and-strikes challenge system as a regular-season fixture, with MLB testing it in the All-Star Game and potentially implementing it next season.
