The National League seemed to be at an advantage entering the game, as the American League had several star players limited by injuries, including Joe DiMaggio, Ted Williams and George Kell. Stan Musial pleased the home crowd with a two-run homer in the first inning, but the AL used a three-run fourth inning to win its third straight All-Star Game.
