American Leaguers Win In All Star Game 5-2
The American League defeated the National League 5-2 at Sportsman's Park as NL hitters appeared subdued. Stan Musial homered in the first inning for the NL’s two runs, while masterful NL batting was limited to eight hits. The AL benefited from injuries to stars like Williams, DiMaggio, and Kell, and strong pitching from Masterson Raschi and Coleman. The NL trails by seven with 1955 in sight.
