MLB All-Star Game: NL Win Thriller In First Ever Home Run Swing-Off

National League earned a dramatic victory in the Major League Baseball 2025 All-Star Game via a first-ever Home Run Swing-off. NL blew away a six-run lead to see the scores tied after nine innings in a stuning comeback from American League. A home run derby then took place to decide the winner where three batters from both teams were to get three swings each with the team hitting more homers getting the wins. Kyle Schwarber then homered thrice in his three attempts to take NL over the victory line in a historic game.
