Garner pushes right buttons in All-Star bid
Phil Garner managed the NL in Pittsburgh with an aggressive, old-school mindset. His players ran the bases hard and Batista style effort aimed to overcome a lack of late inning power. Michael Young's two run triple in the ninth gave the AL a 3-2 win and kept the NL winless streak at 10.

Selig Defends Drug Testing In Baseball Amid Scandals
Commissioner Bud Selig defended MLB drug testing calling the program effective and minimized steroid use. He noted amphetamines are under control, discussed Yankee Stadium as a potential 2008 All Star host, and criticized Manny Ramirez for skipping the game. Iriki remains the only major penalty under the stricter rules. Turnbow recalls the sport’s steroid scrutiny.
