This game is most notable for the lack of NL’s lackluster offensive showing; they were retired in order in seven of the nine frames. Yet it was a close game as one of the innings with baserunners was a three-run second off Roy Halladay that counted the AL’s two-run first off Tim Lincecum. Joe Mauer’s double off Chad Billingsley in the fifth tied it, and it remained that way until the eighth when Curtis Granderson tripled off Heath Bella and Jacque Jones plated him with a sacrifice fly. Joe Nathan got into some two out trouble in the eighth, but fanned Ryan Howard with runners at the corners to preserve the lead. Mariano Rivera then closed it out 1-2-3 in the ninth.
