Kyle Schwarber's 3 homers in All-Star Game's first tiebreaking swing-off lift NL over AL

Kyle Schwarber led the National League to a 4-3 victory over the American League in the All-Star Game swing-off. After a 6-6 tie, Schwarber homered on all three of his swings, overcoming a two-homer deficit. This marked the first time a swing-off decided an All-Star game and Schwarber became the first non-pitcher MVP without a hit. The new format, implemented to conserve pitchers, involves three batters from each league taking three swings each. The AL's comeback from a six-run deficit fell short, giving the NL their second win in the last 12 All-Star Games.
