Tigers ace Tarik Skubal, tabbed as the American League’s starting pitcher, allowed two runs in a tough-luck first inning. National League leadoff man Shohei Ohtani fell behind 0-2 before slapping a single to center. Ronald Acuña Jr. also battled to two strikes before beating out a dribbler to second for an infield hit.

Mariners’ Cal Raleigh, Monday’s eventual winner of the Derby, only made it out of the first round by less than an inch. He and Rooker were tied for fourth with 17 home runs, but Raleigh advanced because his longest home run went further than Rooker’s.
