The 2023 Major League Baseball All-Star Game is the 93rd Major League Baseball All-Star Game, held between the American League (AL) and the National League (NL). The game is at T-Mobile Park (formerly Safaco Field) in Seattle, Washington (home of the Seattle Mariners).
This ASG is on Tuesday, July 11, 2023 at 8:00pm EDT (5:00pm PDT locally). It is going to be televised on FOX. The players will wear the All-Star baseball jerseys, not their respective team jerseys (like they did in the 2023 Home Run Derby).
If the 2023 MLB ASG ends with a tie after 9 full innings, the tiebreaking "HR Derby" will take place instead of extra innings. Three players from each league team will take 3 swings each. A team with more combined home runs will win the tiebreaker and will get the league team to win the 2023 ASG.

- Arozarena (2023 HRD runner-up) caught stealing: https://twitter.com/Braves/status/1678926896929619968
- Yandy Díaz homers in the 2nd inning to put the AL to strike first: https://twitter.com/MLB/status/1678931698321334272, https://twitter.com/LasMayores/status/1678931040344088576
- Luis Arraez ties the game at 1 apiece (he's a great batter going for .400 for this season): https://twitter.com/MLBVenezuela/status/1678937719383138304, (1.000 Batting Average) https://twitter.com/LasMayores/status/1678939842166521857 Arraez finishes with 2 hits in the 2023 ASG, so he's finished with 1.000 AVG.
- Arraez caught stealing (after an initial call ruled him "safe"): https://twitter.com/LasMayores/status/1678942722055364608 (2nd part of this Twitter video)
- Salvador Perez, replacing Shohei Ohtani (who was in 3 bases but not scored in the Bottom 4th), gets a single in the 6th inning. Following this, Rooker gets a ground-rule double that moves Salvy to 3rd. Then, Bo Bichette has a sacrifice fly to score Salvy to get the AL to regain their lead 2-1.
- Lourdes Gurriel Jr. homers (overturned) in the 7th inning to tie the ASG at 2 apiece, but it is foul to the left after umpire review (score is still AL 2-1). He gets a single from another pitcher.
- J-Rod (Julio Rodríguez) gets a great ovation from his home team: https://twitter.com/LasMayores/status/1678959450453946369
- Elias Díaz hits a 2-run homer, scoring himself and Nick Castellanos (who walked), in the 8th inning to get the NL to take the lead 3-2.

YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gv7c4Swr8tU
- Julio Rodríguez actually got his chance in the Bottom 9th inning to tie or to win the ASG when Craig Kimbrel had struggled to get the final out. J-Rod walked instead.
- Craig Kimbrel had so much trouble in the Bottom 9th inning to close the ASG. He walked 2 batters (including Julio Rodríguez), but he got out of the jam and he gets credited with a save.
2022[]
- Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is the 2021 ASG MVP. He will start batting clean-up (4th batter).
- Juan Soto is the 2022 HRD winner. He is not starting, but he will get into a game later.
- William & Willson Contreras are the 5th pair of brothers to start an All-Star Game at the same time. Willson is an elected starter as a catcher while William is an injury replacement.
- Shohei Ohtani, the leadoff DH, gets a hit for a good start. However, he is picked off by Clayton Kershaw (and Paul Goldschmidt) when Aaron Judge is batting.
- Ronald Acuña Jr., the leadoff NL batter, gets a hit for a good start after his season-ending injury in 2021. Mookie Betts gets Acuña to score.
- Paul Goldschmidt hits a home run off Shane McClanahan to extend NL's lead 2-0 in the 1st inning.
- Double Play for the AL in the 1st inning (Vlad ends this play on a "good note")
- Alek Manoah, a Blue Jays pitcher, gets all 3 strikeouts in the bottom 2nd inning. He has a batter swinging, a batter a foul tip, and a batter called out on strikes.
- Giancarlo Stanton hits a 2-run HR in the 4th inning to tie the game at 2.
- Byron Buxton hits a back-to-back HR after Giancarlo Stanton in the 4th inning to get the AL the lead 3-2.
- Gregory Soto (AL pitcher) faces against Juan Soto (NL batter) in the bottom of the 7th inning. No relation to each other. Juan Jose Soto Pacheco grounds out.
- Emmanuel Clase pitches in the bottom of the 9th inning to save for the American League to win. He pitches for 3 strikeouts (just like Alek Manoah did before) (2 called, 1 foul tip) with only 10 pitches (almost immaculate).
