For three and a half innings it looked as though this seasons all-star game was going to be a mid-summer's night classic. That was until Matt Gagne came up to bat with two outs and the bases loaded in the fourth. With a short compact swing he sent Sam Goldstein's 2-1 pitch over Cash Field's left centerfield wall that essentially won the game for the American League over his former National League brethren. After the game Gagne said he knew his squad would win because they had more heart than the other club. Goldstein could only say he was disappointed in his control issues and took total blame for the loss.
