The National League’s nightmare is finally over.

The NL snapped a nine-game losing skid in the Midsummer Classic with a 3-2 win over the American League All-Stars.

The National League narrowly missed an opportunity in the top of the seventh inning but wouldn’t let one go to waste in the eighth - Colorado Rockies catcher Elias Diaz blasted a towering two-run home run off Baltimore Orioles’ Felix Bautista to give the National League a 3-2 lead. 

Craig Kimbrel of the Philadelphia Phillies' closer was called on by his own manager in Rob Thomson in the bottom of the ninth, but it got sweaty. He allowed back-to-back two-out walks, including one to hometown favorite in Julio Rodriguez as the winning run, and up came Cleveland Guardians' Jose Ramirez. But Kimbrel got Ramirez swinging on a high fastball to end the game.

Diaz was named the game's MVP.

Tampa Bay Rays’ Yandy Diaz opened up the scoring with a solo home run off Pittsburgh Pirates’ Mitch Keller, but the NL got on the board with none other than Miami Marlins’ Luis Arraez’s RBI single off hometown favorite George Kirby that tied the game in the fourth. Arraez earned two hits, showing the world why he’s in a race to MLB’s first .400 average since Ted Williams hit .406 in 1941. He and Los Angeles Dodgers' J.D. Martinez were the only players were multiple hits.
