All-Star Game ends in a dramatic swing-off as Freddie gets his moment and Kershaw stars on the mic

Well, that was surprisingly fun, huh?

After looking like a blowout early, things were knotted up late, which led to an incredibly entertaining swing-off that ended with Kyle Schwarber as the hero for the National League.

Just incredible cinema.

Shohei Ohtani (1-for-2) started things off right for the Dodger contingent.

And Clayton Kershaw (his entire outing is below) mic’d up was definitely the early highlight.

Meanwhile, Freddie Freeman (0-for-1) got his moment during his return to Atlanta.

Also, Will Smith went 0-for-2, and obviously Yoshinobu Yamamoto didn’t pitch in the game.

Bonus: This was funny from yesterday.

Shohei Ohtani went up to Padres closer Robert Suarez during All-Star festivities and pretended his shoulder was in pain.
