[1] Cleveland Stadium set a new All-Star Game record by hosting its fourth (and ultimately, final) Midsummer Classic.

The American League started with four shutout innings, two apiece by starter Jack Morris and Len Barker.

Gary Carter broke the scoring drought for the NL and tied the game with a shot off Ken Forsch in the fifth.

Burt Hooton came in for the NL in the AL-half of the sixth and promptly loaded the bases on three successive singles by Singleton, Dwight Evans, and Carlton Fisk.

Al Oliver then lifted a bloop fly ball to left that looked like it would drop, but Dusty Baker hustled in and made a sliding catch for the third out, saving a run and possibly more.
