This game will be most remembered for it being moved from Atlanta to Denver in order to display proper adherence to the civic religion, and for Shohei Ohtani both leading off and pitching for the AL. He was 0-2 at the plate and pitched a 1-2-3 first. Vladimir Guerrero homered for the AL, and both sides got solo homers from catchers (JT Realmuto for the NL and Mike Zunino for the AL). Other runs trickled in and the AL handed Liam Hendriks a 5-2 lead to save in the bottom of the ninth. Omar Narvaez led off with an infield single and then bizarrely was nailed at second trying to move up on a would-be wild pitch. That reduced the potential of Ozzie Albies’ two-out double, and Trea Turner grounded out on the first pitch to end it.
