The best players in MLB played tonight in the All Star Game in the Houston Astrodome. The NL went up 3-0 in the 3rd inning on a Willie McCovey homerun. But the AL battled back, getting 1 run in the 4th and 5 in the 6th to take a 6-3 lead. The big blow for the AL was Boog Powell's 3 run shot off Don Drysdale. The NL added a run in the 6th inning but that would be all the scoring for the night and the AL walked off the field with a 6-4 victory.

In a good matchup it was the American 1968 team 6, the National 1968 team 4 at
The Astrodome.
American 1968 had 5 runs cross the plate in the 6th inning when they had 5
base hits. The big moment was provided by Boog Powell who deflated the
spirits of the home town crowd when he smacked a three-run homer. Denny
McLain pitched a perfect ninth to earn his 1st save.
The win went to Luis Tiant(1-0) who allowed no runs in 2 innings. Steve
Carlton(0-1) was the loser in relief. He gave up 2 hits and 1 walk in 1/3 of
an inning.
