US EditionKyle Schwarber's 3 Homers in All-Star Game's First Tiebreaking Swing-Off Lift NL over AL
ATLANTA, GEORGIA, JUL 15 – Kyle Schwarber hit three home runs in the first-ever All-Star Game swing-off, earning MVP honors and securing the National League's 4-3 win after a 6-6 tie, officials said.
- The MLB All-Star Game between the National and American Leagues was held on the evening of July 15, 2025, in Atlanta and concluded with a 6-6 tie after nine innings.
- In 2022, the league and its players reached an agreement to resolve tied All-Star Games using a home run swing-off, aiming to reduce pitcher overuse.
- Philadelphia Phillies slugger Kyle Schwarber hit home runs on all three of his swing-off attempts, including a final one where he kneeled as he sent the ball into right field seats.
- Schwarber's three homers in the tiebreaker lifted the National League to a 4-3 victory in the first-ever All-Star home run swing-off, overcoming an AL rally from a six-run deficit.
- American League manager Aaron Boone compared the swing-off to a baseball-style shootout and suggested that it might be incorporated into the regular season at some point in the future.
