The 2019 MLB All-Star Game | Baseball Almanac

The 2019 Major League Baseball All-Star Game was the 90th Major League Baseball All-Star Game. The game was hosted by the Cleveland Indians and was played at Progressive Field on July 9, 2019.

The host city was announced on January 27, 2017, by Major League Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred. It was the sixth All-Star Game in Cleveland, giving The Forest City the most All-Star Games in baseball history, breaking a four-way tie with the Pittsburgh Pirates, St. Louis Cardinals, and Cincinnati Reds, who have each hosted the Midsummer Classic five times.

The American League recorded its seventh consecutive win, a 4-3 victory over the National League, where only two home runs were hit during the Midsummer Classic– both solo shots. Research by Baseball Almanac.
