The American League only has five teams with a winning record compared to the National League's nine at the break, but the AL's shoddy first half didnt matter Tuesday night in Philadelphia. The NL lineup didnt stand a chance against an overpowering AL pitching staff in the All-Star Game, as the American League won the competition for the 11th time in the past 13 seasons and recorded its first shutout win since 2013. Here are my takeaways from the ALs 4-0 win. 1.AL Pitching Dominates Shohei Ohtani wasnt there to lead off for the National League All-Star team after bowing out of the competition to take care of his knee, but there was still enough firepower to expect some fireworks from the superstars throughout the NL lineup Tuesday night. Instead, the American League pitching staff completely shut them down. The NL All-Stars struck out 15 times and had just two hits, both singles, when the Rays Bryan Baker entered in relief to replace Aroldis Chapman with two outs in the ninth. Otto Lopez followed with a single for the NLs third hit of the game, but it couldnt get a rally going as Sal Stewart grounded out to end a feeble evening for the NL squad. It was a sign of things to come when Dylan Cease struck out three batters in the first. Each of the next nine pitchers who entered for the AL struck out at least one batter. Michael Wacha, Joe Ryan and Cade Smith recorded multiple strikeouts. Juan Soto, Pete Crow-Armstrong and Lopez were the only NL players to record a hit. 2.Tough Break For Philly Faithful The crowd at Citizens Bank Park was rocking Monday night, getting louder with each of Kyle Schwarbers 11 home runs in the final round of the Home Run Derby. The hometown star looked primed to be the hero of the competition. Instead, through a chorus of boos, the Cardinals Jordan Walker flipped the script and left the Philadelphia faithful stunned. One night later, it didnt get any better for the hometown crowd. The Phillies led all teams with six representatives in the All-Star Game and had ace Cristopher Snchez on the mound to start the game, a decision made easier after Brewers flamethrower Jacob Misiorowski bowed out of the competition. Snchez was the first Phillies pitcher since Roy Halladay in 2011 to start the All-Star Game, but the American League lineup did not care to appease the hometown crowd as they plated three runs against Snchez via three singles and two walks in the first inning to jump out to an early advantage. Those were the only runs of the game until White Sox third baseman Miguel Vargas, one of 36 first-time All-Stars in the competition, went deep off former Dodgers teammate Justin Wrobleski in the eighth to add to the American League lead. Phillies hitters Kyle Schwarber, Bryce Harper and Brandon Marsh combined to go hitless on the night, though Phillies starter Jess Luzardo did throw a scoreless inning of relief. 3.Rays Appear To Avoid Disaster This week in Philadelphia could have been the Junior Caminero national showcase. He ended the first half on fire, homering 13 times in his final 19 games before the break, and entered the Home Run Derby as one of the favorites. But he failed to make it out of the second round of the Derby on Monday. And one day later, disaster nearly struck. Cardinals reliever Riley OBrien went up and in with a 97.6 mph sinker that caught Caminero in the left hand in the top of the third inning. The Rays star third baseman immediately fell to the ground and stayed down for a while before getting up and going straight to the tunnel. Thankfully, X-rays came back negative. Caminero told reporters afterward that he expects to be fine, but his health is something to monitor for a Rays team that is currently holding off the Yankees atop the AL East. And speaking of the pinstripes 4.Led By MVP Bellinger, Yankees Show Out With Aaron Judge injured, it has been tough for the Yankees to get their offense going over the last few weeks. Dating back to June 20, they rank 28th in MLB in runs scored and 29th in OPS. At the All-Star Game, though, their reps had no problem generating offense. A hard-hit grounder up the middle from Cody Bellinger plated the first two runs of the game off Snchez in the first inning. One batter later, Ben Rice followed with a nearly identical hit to knock in another run. Bellinger was heating up entering the break, going 7-for-16 with two doubles in his final four games of the first half, and has been one of the best offseason (re)signings in baseball. Rice, meanwhile, has the second-highest slugging percentage and third-highest OPS in MLB this year. But he also is hitting .279 this season, and he used his contact skills in a triumphant first All-Star Game.

NEW YORK, NEW YORK - JUNE 21: Triple H attends the Fanatics Fest NYC 2025 at Javits Center on June 21, 2025 in New York City. (Photo by Slaven Vlasic/Getty Images)Getty ImagesThe WWE and crossover are synonymous, so when former UFC interim welterweight champion and Real American Freestyle Wrestler Colby Covington mentioned the promotion to me, it made a lot of sense. Let's talk wrestling.Key Facts at a GlanceWho: Colby Covington, former UFC interim welterweight champion, now competing in Real American FreestyleThe news: Covington told me he's had calls with Triple H and WWE about a possible appearanceHis stance: WWE is a "potential possibility," but he says he's all in on RAF for nowHistory: Covington already appeared in Impact Wrestling in 2017 in a storyline with Bobby LashleyHis model: Logan Paul's path from crossover attraction to full-time WWE starWhat Did Colby Covington Say About WWE?Talking to me ahead of his Real American Freestyle main event on July 18 in Milwaukee, Covington said the door to WWE is open at the top. He described having calls with Triple H and WWE about getting involved, while stressing that his focus right now is the RAF mat. You can watch the full interview here.This is not the first time Covington has talked about a jump to WWE. Covington has flagged a WWE move for years, and he already has real reps in the space, having left the UFC with the freedom to chase it. A conversation with the person running WWE's creative is the closest that talk has come to something concrete.Would Colby Covington's WWE Schedule Actually Work?The one hurdle Covington raised was the calendar. He pointed to WWE's travel load, the near-constant run of TV and premium live events, as the toughest part of any transition.Covington mentioned the WWE's schedule as the biggest challenge, but that's not likely to be a problem. The days of WWE expecting their performers, especially crossover talent, to work non-stop rigorous schedules is over. Covington would likely work at a rate close to Logan Paul's early schedule, before he went full time.WWE has leaned into that model for outside stars, protecting them with limited dates and specific feuds rather than a grueling loop.Can Colby Covington Cut a WWE Promo?We talked about mic work and how it is different in WWE than it is in MMA. Covington seemed to want to prove he can cut a promo with the best of them.Even breaking down his RAF opponent, he slipped into full third-person heel mode, saying the worst punishment the promotion could hand his rival was to "give him to Colby Covington."That cadence is not new for him. Hes a natural heel and has embraced it long before Josh Hokit tried to run plays from his playbook.He credited Bobby Lashley with teaching him how to shoot a promo during his Impact Wrestling run, and his entire UFC persona has read like pro wrestling concepts. On the mic, there is still a long way to go before he can deliver venom on par with CM Punks return promos and the like.What Would a Colby Covington WWE Run Look Like?For now, it is a someday. Covington was clear that RAF has his full attention, and WWE sits in the future tense.When it happens, the blueprint is obvious. He would come in as a part-time heel attraction, the exact role WWE built around Logan Paul, and lean on the mic work and the politics that already make him a lightning rod. A stage like SummerSlam is the kind of spot that turns a name like his into a one-night draw. The call from Triple H suggests WWE has already run that math, but I wouldnt expect his arrival in Minnesota. Perhaps a few more wins on the RAF mat, maybe even a bit of viral brawl with Tsarukyan and things could change.This article was originally published on Forbes.com
