Even though the outcome was not the way that they wanted, the San Francisco Giants were well represented for the National League squad.

Yes, the American League gained home field advantage once again after defeating the National League 6-3 at Great American Ballpark; however look what happened last season when the Kansas City Royals were home for Game 7 against the Giants.

Bruce Bochy and his coaching staff represented the Giants and the National League as a result of making and winning the World Series last fall.

The Orange and Black were represented by a catcher, a pitcher and their double play combination in the “Queen City.”

Buster Posey got the start behind the plate, as he went 0-for-2 in his only two plate appearances on the evening.

Madison Bumgarner pitched one inning, allowing a hit and a strikeout and faced two Royals in his only inning of work.

Brandon Crawford hit a sacrifice fly in the bottom of the ninth inning to drive in a run for the National League

Joe Panik flew out to left field to end the game in his second at-bat.
