All-Stars Live up to Hype as Jackson Delivers Blast
In Detroit at Tiger Stadium the American League overcame an early deficit to defeat the National League 6-4 in the 42nd All-Star Game. Reggie Jackson delivered a two-run pinch-hit homer that sparked a four-run third inning, while Frank Robinson and Harmon Killebrew added two-run shots. Vida Blue allowed three early runs and settled after, but Jackson’s blast near 600 feet energized a crowd of 53,559 as the AL snapped an eight-game skid.
