Daily News | Plenty of pageantry as American League beats National League in MLB All-Star Game at Dodger Stadium
LOS ANGELES — As serendipitous coincidences go, try this one on for size: The All-Star Game returned to Dodger Stadium Tuesday night, which happened to be Rachel Robinson’s 100th birthday.So, when Major League Baseball approached Betts this week about ideas for a pregame ceremony, the Dodgers star was all-in. What wound up transpiring — Betts gathering his fellow All-Stars on the grass in front of the mound, grabbing a microphone, giving a big “What’s up, L.A.
“It was very special,” said Betts, who added a first-inning RBI single to his All-Star night. “Being able to say happy birthday personally was very special. I’m just glad everybody enjoyed it.”Phillies slugger Kyle Schwarber said he set out to enjoy everything about his second All-Star experience. It wasn’t that he didn’t have a good time last year in Colorado, when he was injured and unable to play. But All-Star week goes quickly. There are obligations and responsibilities.
Schwarber entered the game in the sixth inning, replacing left fielder Joc Pederson and batting in the No. 8 spot. He came to bat in the seventh and grounded out against Baltimore Orioles closer Jorge López. Kershaw faced four batters in the first inning. He gave up a first-pitch leadoff single to Shohei Ohtani, then picked him off first base. Kershaw struck out Aaron Judge, walked Rafael Devers, and got Vladimir Guerrero Jr. to ground into a force out.
