Thats a steal if upton is edited

No, no one's stats in this game are edited except Matt Murton who, for some reason, I edited to my abilities in life mode and forgot to change them back, and I have no idea why I did it in the first place.

CLEVELAND -- The Rays have lost their third game in a row, losing in a pitchers duel between Andy Sonnanstine and C.C. Sabathia.

7/15 - National League @ American League
Aaron Harang: (13 - 1), 1.91 ERA vs. Roy Halladay: (10 - 2), 2.42 ERA

NEW YORK -- The National League has finally ended it's skid of losing eleven straight All-Star games, with a 2-1 victory over the American League tonight in the Bronx. Roy Halladay started the game perfect through three. He got some defensive help in the first with Johnny Damon making two amazing diving catches to get the first two batters of the game out in front of his home crowd. Albert Pujols broke the tie in the fourth with an RBI single knocking in Hanley Ramirez. Bobby Abreu gave his home fans something to cheer about in the bottom of the fifth with a lead-off home run to tie it up at one, but Yorvit Torrealba did the same back with his own lead-off homer in the sixth to regain the lead. In the bottom of the ninth, Jonathan Papelbon from the Reds, formerly the Red Sox closer earlier in the season, came on to pitch for the NL, and with two outs and Magglio Ordonez the runner on third, Justin Morneau hit one high and deep to left field, but Ryan Braun barely made the catch at the wall to end the game.
