In the early moments of the All-Star Game at Citizens Bank Park, the American League took a 3-0 lead against the National League, highlighted by Yankees players Cody Bellinger and Benjamin Rice. Bellinger hit a two-run single off Phillies ace Cristopher Sánchez, followed shortly by Rice’s RBI single, both scoring runs in a challenging first inning for Sánchez. This marked a significant offensive start for the American League as they capitalized on the bases being loaded. Sánchez, who typically limits runs, faced unusual trouble in this outing.
