J.D. DREW PRESENTED WITH THE TED WILLIAMS AWARD AS MVP OF THE ALL-STAR GAME: Star right fielder of the Red Sox J.D. Drew was named the MVP of the All-Star Game last night. Mr. Drew hit a tying two-run home run in the seventh, singled, stole a base, and walked in the winning rally by the AL in the 15th inning.

The AL improved to 6-0 since the All-Star Game began determining home field advantage in the World Series and 10-0-1 since 1996. Since 2004, the AL has a record of 826-642 in interleague play (roughly the equivalent of a 91-win pace in a regular 162 game season) and has a record of 13-4 in World Series games.

Florida Marlins second baseman Dan Uggla had an uncommonly poor performance in last night's game.
