ATLANTA – It didn't take long for the 2025 National League All-Stars to heat up in Atlanta. 

Arizona Diamondbacks' second baseman Ketel Marte hit a double in the first inning which scored hometown star Ronald Acuna Jr. and two-way star Shohei Ohtani. The National League added to its lead courtesy of Mets infielder Pete Alonso's three-run homer in the sixth, which brought the score to 6-0.

Witt Jr. also doubled in the top of the ninth to bring the AL within one run. Cleveland's Steven Kwan then reached on an infield single to bring the game to a 6-6 tie.
