Duran home run is the difference after Ohtani gives NL early lead
An American comeback

The National League’s Trea Turner throws to second base after a diving stop on a ground ball from the Blue Jays’ Vladimir Guerrero Jr. to force out Yordan Alvarez at second base during the MLB all-star game on Tuesday in Arlington, Texas.

Boston’s Jarren Duran hit a tiebreaking two-run homer in the fifth inning and the American League beat the National League 5-3 on Tuesday night for its 10th win in the past 11 all-star games.

Pittsburgh rookie Paul Skenes pitched a hitless first for the NL, twice hitting 100 m.p.h., and Shohei Ohtani hit a three-run homer in the third for a 3-0 lead.

Juan Soto hit a two-run double and scored on David Fry’s single to tie the score in the third, and Duran went deep off Cincinnati’s Hunter Greene.

Oakland right-hander Mason Miller got the win after throwing a 103.6-m.p.h. pitch, the fastest in the all-star game since tracking began in 2008.

Hard-throwing Cleveland closer Emmanuel Clase struck out two in the ninth for the save.
