This year's All-Star Game will take place July 9 at Progressive Field in Cleveland. It's the first time Cleveland has hosted the event since 1997. Last year's winner was the American League, with Houston Astros star Alex Bregman winning the MVP award for his go-ahead home run in the 10th inning.
Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts will lead the NL squad. Alex Cora of the Boston Red Sox will manage the AL team.
