The American League All-Stars defeated the National League All-Stars by a score of 4 to 0 in the 2026 Major League Baseball All-Star Game. The contest took place on July 14 at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia.
Ernie Clement, second baseman for the Toronto Blue Jays, started at second base for the American League team. Clement led American League players in fan voting for the All-Star Game and made his first appearance in the event.
In the fifth inning, National League representative Andy Pages hit a ground ball up the middle. Clement moved to his right to field the ball and completed the play with a jump throw to first base. The out prevented Pages from reaching base safely.
Clement recorded no hits in two at-bats during the game. The American League scored its four runs in the early innings. Pitchers representing the American League held the National League without a run for the duration of the game.
Clement's defensive action at second base served as a notable moment in the matchup between the top players from the American and National Leagues. The result added to the American League's performance in this annual exhibition.
