Underrated arms carry AL to 4-0 victory in 2026 All-Star Game
In Philadelphia, the 2026 All-Star Game belonged to unheralded arms who silenced the NL, helping the AL to a 4-0 win after a three-run first and a late Miguel Vargas homer. With many big-name stars unavailable due to injuries or workload, first-time All-Stars and solid veterans like Dylan Cease, Parker Messick, Michael Wacha, Joe Ryan, Nick Martinez, Cade Smith, Drew Rasmussen, Louis Varland, Jacob Latz and Bryan Baker excelled, and closers Mason Miller, Joan Duran and Aroldis Chapman finished it out.
