Who won the MLB All-Star Game in 2025? Final score, results from swing-off as Kyle Schwarber powers NL to win image

JUMP TO:

The 2025 MLB All-Star Game fittingly ended in historic fashion.

With the game tied at 6 after nine innings, the Phillies' Kyle Schwarber hit three home runs to lead the National League to a win in the first-ever swing-off, receiving MVP honors for his herculean effort. The rule was implemented in 2022 and finally came into play this year.

This All-Star Game also featured the ABS system for the first time in Major League play, with Cal Raleigh calling the first successful challenge in the bottom of the first. There were three more challenges throughout the game, with Kyle Stowers unsuccessful in the bottom of the eighth.

Aside from the new format and experimenting with new technology, the game was as good as fans could have hoped for. Pete Alonso and Corbin Carroll hit home runs in the bottom of the sixth to give the NL a 6-0 lead, but the AL stormed back with six unanswered runs, tying the game on a dribbler by Steven Kwan in the top of the ninth. Aroldis Chapman locked it down in the bottom of the frame to send the game to its incredible conclusion.

The NL reclaimed the All-Star Game after losing it in 2024, but it was just its second win in the past 13 years. The decisions made by Aaron Boone and Dave Roberts as to who would hit in the swing-off are sure to be scrutinized until the regular season resumes on Friday.
