Bellinger MVP as AL Wins 4–0

At the 2026 MLB All‑Star Game in Philadelphia’s Citizens Bank Park on July 15, the American League shut out the National League, 4–0, and New York Yankees outfielder Cody Bellinger was named the game’s MVP. Bellinger’s two‑run single in a decisive first inning produced key runs, and AL pitchers combined for an overpowering performance that included 15 strikeouts and several scoreless frames. After the game Bellinger accepted the Ted Williams/Arch Ward MVP trophy amid applause from teammates and family, a midseason highlight before regular‑season play resumes.
