Hart said talks with Baltimore had not occurred and projected the team would pursue improvements if possible while noting pitching remains unpredictable. All-Star game notes followed with six Indians taking part and Jim Thome's Home Run Contest run ending with a late surge.

Burba Deflects Blame as Indians Fall to Twins in Close Game
Indians pitcher Burba gave up one unearned run on a misplayed ground ball that opened the third inning, later driving in a run himself. The Tribe failed to tie in the eighth and faded after Paul Shuey allowed a two-run homer in the ninth as Minnesota held on for a 3 0 win and Aguilera earned his 19th save.
