Duran homer lifts American League to MLB All-Star Game victory

Shohei Ohtani, the Los Angeles Dodgers' Japanese superstar, had staked the National League to a 3-0 lead with a three-run blast in the top of the third. But the AL scored five unanswered runs to win the Midsummer Classic for the 10th time in 11 years, rebounding at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas, after dropping last year's edition 3-2 in Seattle. Duran earned All-Star Most Valuable Player honors as the AL denied the NL's bid to win a second straight for the first time since they won three in a row from 2010-2012.
