The game resulted in a 4–1 victory for the NL, and Cincinnati Reds shortstop Dave Concepción was named the MVP.

This would be the only All-Star Game to be played in Montréal, as the Expos would leave in 2005 to become the Washington Nationals before having an opportunity to host another.

The AL drew first blood in the first off NL starter Steve Rogers when Reggie Jackson drove home Rickey Henderson with a sacrifice fly.

The NL tacked on a run in the third when Ruppert Jones tripled and Pete Rose hit a sacrifice fly.

The NL got their final run in the sixth on a Gary Carter RBI single that scored then-Expo teammate Al Oliver.
