<p>The National League beat up the American League MVP and cruised to an 8-0 win in the 2012 MLB All-Star Game on Tuesday in Kansas City.</p>
<p>It is the third straight year the NL has won, and as a result, the Rangers will have to start on the road if they make their third straight World Series. They have begun on the road in each of the last two seasons. It was the largest margin of victory for the NL in All-Star Game history.</p>

<p>Big innings have killed the American League in the 2012 All-Star Game.</p>
<p><span>Justin Verlander</span> allowed five runs in the first inning, while <span>Matt Harrison</span> allowed three in the fourth and the AL trails 8-0 through four innings.</p>
<p>Things started just fine for Harrison, as <span>Pablo Sandoval</span> and <span>Dan Uggla</span> flew out to center for two quick outs. But <span>Rafael Furcal</span> hit a triple and <span>Matt Holliday</span> singled to right to bring him home. That was followed by a two-run homer to left field by <span>Melky Cabrera</span>, extending the lead to 8-0.</p>

<p>Most proably didn't expect <span>Joe Nathan</span> to be the first Ranger to make an impact at the 2012 All-Star Game in Kansas City.</p>
<p>Nathan faced three batters in the second inning, getting <span>Carlos Gonzalez</span> to ground out first base, <span>Melky Cabrera</span> to ground out to second and Ryan Braun to fly out to right field after <span>Jose Bautista</span> made a diving catch.</p>
<p>As for the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.lonestarball.com/">Rangers</a> batters, three are in the starting lineup. <span>Josh Hamilton</span> flew out to left field in the first inning and <span>Adrian Beltre</span> popped out to shortstop in the second inning. <span>Mike Napoli</span> is hitting eighth for the American League and will lead off the third inning.</p>
<p>The National League leads 5-0 after a five-run first inning off reigning AL MVP <span>Justin Verlander</span>.</p>

<p><span>Joe Nathan</span> is no stranger to the Midsummer Classic. The <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.lonestarball.com/">Texas Rangers</a> reliever has been there before with other teams, but he feels like there is something special about Tuesday night's 2012 MLB All-Star Game.</p>
<p><a target="_blank" href="http://texas.rangers.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20120709&content_id=34781858&vkey=news_tex&c_id=tex">T.R. Sullivan of MLB.com brings us these quotes</a> from Nathan on the big event:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>"This one definitely means the most to me," Nathan said, "All my All-Star Games have special memories, but this one for sure.</p>
<p>"I didn't even think about making the All-Star team," Nathan said. "I was just fighting to put my stuff back together. That was the biggest question for others and myself, just to prove that I could still do it and if I could get back to this level. A lot of people didn't expect it, but being here is a symbol that I did."</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Nathan has proved a lot during his comeback from Tommy John surgery and his resurgent year for the Rangers. Perhaps he'll get another chance to shine in the late innings -- the American League <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/teams/show?affiliation_key=l.mlb.com&team_key=l.mlb.com-t.32">All-Stars</a> are managed by Rangers skipper Ron Washington, after all.</p>

<p><span>Prince Fielder</span> made quite the splash on Monday.</p>
<p>The <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.blessyouboys.com/">Tigers</a> first baseman won the 2012 Home Run Derby in Kansas City with a record 12 home runs in the final, including a few in the center field fountain. <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.bluebirdbanter.com/">Blue Jays</a> outfielder <span>Jose Bautista</span> hit the most home runs in the first round, but only managed seven in the final.</p>
<p>Bautista (11), <span>Mark Trumbo</span> (7), <span>Carlos Beltran</span> (7) and Fielder (5) advanced out of the first round. But the highlight of the round was <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.pinstripealley.com/">Yankees</a> second baseman and American League captain <span>Robinson Cano</span>, who selected the AL roster. Kansas City fans were unhappy that <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.royalsreview.com/">Royals</a> designated hitter <span>Billy Butler</span> was left off the roster, and they displayed that displeasure with boos during his introduction and first round. A fanbase that hasn't had much to cheer about this season went wild as Cano went homerless.</p>
<p><iframe frameborder="0" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/1RW5Rr-BllU?rel=0" height="315" width="560"></iframe></p>
<p>In the second round, Fielder hit 11 home runs for a total of 16. Bautista hit two and Trumbo hit six in the second round, tying with a total of 13. As a tiebreaker, the pair had a five-swing swing-off. Trumbo hit one over five swings, and Bautista hit two to advance to the final.</p>
<p>The longest home run of the night came from Fielder, who hit a 476-foot blast in the second round and in the final. This was Fielder's second derby win, as he won in 2009 as a member of the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.brewcrewball.com/">Brewers</a>. He becomes the second player to win multiple derbies, joining Ken Griffey Jr, who won three in the 1990s.</p>

<p>Tuesday night's 2012 MLB All-Star Game should generate plenty of excitement and on Monday, the managers from the American League and National League announced who their starting pitchers will be. </p>
<p>On the AL side, <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.lonestarball.com/">Texas Rangers</a> manager Ron Washington elected to start <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.blessyouboys.com/">Detroit Tigers</a> ace, <span>Justin Verlander</span>. Said Verlander on Monday to <a href="http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20120709&content_id=34762286&vkey=allstar2012" target="_blank">MLB.com</a>:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>"What an honor it is to start my first All-Star Game," Verlander said at an Arrowhead Stadium news conference on Monday. "I've been to a few in the past and some I haven't had the opportunity to pitch like last year and some I've pitched out of the bullpen. But this is something different, and I'm going to relish every moment and hopefully play a part in helping the American league win."</p>
</blockquote>
<p>For the NL, <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.vivaelbirdos.com/">St. Louis Cardinals</a> skipper Tony La Russa elected to start <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.mccoveychronicles.com/">San Francisco Giants</a> hurler <span>Matt Cain</span> over <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.amazinavenue.com/">New York Mets</a> knuckleballer, <span>R.A. Dickey</span>. Cain threw the 22nd perfect game in Major League Baseball history last month and the first ever in Giants history. La Russa explained his decision to go with Cain over Dickey this way:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>"I know Dickey's going to play," La Russa said. "I'm very aware of the first half he's had. The one edge that I thought made sense, we've got Buster [Posey] catching and Matt is equally legitimate as far as getting the honor. And then we're just going to play the game. I can't bet you Dickey will come out in the second or fourth, I just know he's going to pitch in the first half of the game."</p>
</blockquote>
