Prince Fielder belted a three run home run in the bottom of the fourth and from there on out, the National League held on to win the 2011 All Star Game. What was pretty interesting about this game was it lasted under three hours.
The American League got on the board first. With two outs in the top of the fourth, Adrian Gonzalez hit a solo home run. Of course that lead was short lived because in the bottom half of the inning, Fielder hit his three run shot. The National League extended their lead in the fifth inning when Andre Ethier singled home Rickie Weeks. They then pushed it to 5-1 in the seventh when Pablo Sandoval doubled home Hunter Pence.
Roy Halladay pitched two shutout frames to start things off for the National League. Tyler Clippard picked up the win despite getting just one out. C.J. Wilson was the guy who gave up the three run home run and he took the loss.
So the 2011 All Star Game is in the books. Now we look ahead to the 2012 All Star Game, which will take place in Kansas City, MO. I wonder when 2012 All Star Game tickets go on sale.
