Yesterday's Results
AL All-Stars 5, NL All-Stars 3
The Brewers fared well for the most part in last night's game. Jonathan Lucroy went 2-for-2 with two doubles and two RBI, and Aramis Ramirez was 2-for-3. Carlos Gomez was hitless in the game but contributed with a few nice catches on defense. Finally, Francisco Rodriguez pitched a scoreless inning, allowing only one walk. However, it wasn't enough to overcome five runs given up by Cardinals pitchers, as well as a lack of offense from the rest of the team.
