Bronx, NY (Best E Casino) - Michael Young's sacrifice fly in the 15th inning ended a New York marathon All-Star game, as the American League continued its domination of the National League with a 4-3 victory at the 79th edition of the Mid-Summer Classic. The American League, which is unbeaten in the last 12 All-Star contests, last losing in 1996, overcame leaving 17 men on base and going 3-of-22 with runners in scoring position. But, the AL ended the game in the final season of the current Yankee Stadium and gave manager Terry Francona some relief. Tampa Bay's Scott Kazmir, who threw 104 pitches in a game on Sunday, pitched the top of the 15th inning to get the win. He was the AL's 12th and final pitcher. Philadelphia's Brad Lidge, who hasn't blown a save or suffered a loss during this entire regular season, was tagged with the defeat. He was the last pitcher available for the National League. Home run derby champion Justin Morneau led off the bottom of the 15th with a single. After Ian Kinsler lined out, Dioner Navarro singled up the middle and J.D. Drew walked. Then stepped in Texas shortstop Young, who lofted a fly ball to right field. The throw home from Corey Hart was on track, but Morneau slid in safely, barely beating the sweep tag of Brian McCann. The fly ball by Young avoided a repeat from 2002 when the game ended in a 7-7 tie after 12 innings. Drew, who hit a two-run homer, was named the game's MVP, in the 4 hour, 50 minute contest, the longest by time in All-Star history. The 15 innings tied an All-Star record, with the game ending at 1:38 a.m. It was the first extra-inning win (1-9-1) for the American League, which gained home- field advantage for the World Series. It was a game filled with plays at the plate for outs, plenty of missed opportunities, but after a total of 27 hits, five errors, including an All-Star record three by Florida second baseman Dan Uggla, the American League was able to continue its success and hasn't lost the All-Star game since 1996. Matt Holliday homered for the NL, which failed to get a hit (0-for-6) with runners on scoring position. HASH(0x9956f68)
