Senior Circuit wins in 10 innings
Hamilton double scores winning run
Tuesday, July 12, 2011

MINNEAPOLIS - The 2011 All Star Game was extended by a single in the last of the ninth but ended courtesy of a double in the top of the 10th inning as the National League won the exhibition game 4-3 at the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome tonight.
With the American League trailing 3-2 and St. Louis Cardinals hurler Brett Myers coming to the mound in the last of the ninth, it looked the NL squad had a good chance to pick up the victory. Myers was able to strike out the first two batters of the inning - Garrett Atkins of the Cleveland Indians and Matt Holliday of the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. Detroit's Danny Sanford kept the AL alive with a two-out double and then scored on a RBI single from David Wright of the New York Yankees to tie the game.
Once the ninth came to a close, the teams returned to the field for extra innings - a free bonus for the 41,941 fans in attendence. Luke Prokopec of the Texas Rangers returned to the mound for the AL and gave up a basehit to Florida Marlins outfielder Carl Crawford, who would be advanced to second base on a groundball. With two down and the speedy Crawford on second, Phillies slugger Josh Hamilton fell behind 1-2 before doubling to rightfield with Crawford scoring uncontested.
Myers returned to the mound for the NL, once again working with a one-run lead, and retired his first two batters before surrendering a double to local product Joe Mauer of the Baltimore Orioles. It appeared Myers may stumble once again as he found himself in a 3-0 count to Atkins before battling back to a full count and ultimately retiring the Indians slugger on a popup to third base.
Myers was credited with the win while Prokopec (2 1/3 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 0 BB, 5 K) was hit with the loss.
Hamilton was named the All Star Game MVP with his extra-inning RBI double. Hamilton went 2-for-2 with two RBI. Crawford and Indians second baseman Robinson Cano were the only other players to collect two hits.
There were no home runs hit in the game although the two squads combined for 21 hits, including seven doubles.
