Montreal Expos outfielder Tim Raines was named the Most Valuable Player.

Howell would get pitcher Lee Smith to strike out trying to bunt, however, shortstop Hubie Brooks followed with a single, moving Virgil up to second base.

Raines delivered in the clutch, with a two-run triple, giving the National League a 2-0 lead.

In the bottom of the 13th, Sid Fernandez walked leadoff man Kevin Seitzer, but retired the next three batters in order to give the National League the victory.

Due to the length of the game, Lee Smith, a Cubs pitcher at the time, needed to bat.
