American League All Stars 3 National League All Stars 0

It was Mariano Rivera's night.

The heralded New York Yankees' reliever pitched a perfect eighth inning and the American League went on to blank the National League 3-0 tonight at the 84th All -Star Game from Citi Field in Flushing, New York.

Rivera wins the MVP and is one of 10 American League pitchers to help shutdown the NL All-Stars tonight. The National League could muster only three hits -- one of those a ninth-inning double by the Arizona Diamondbacks Paul Goldschmidt.

Arizona's Pat Corbin pitched the fourth inning and allowed the first run of the game when Jose Bautista's sacrifice fly brought home Miguel Cabrera. Corbin is saddled with the loss, but to his credit went up against Cabrera, Chris Davis, Bautista and David "Big Papi" Ortiz -- in that order!
