Goose Goslin cracked 2 homeruns and had 3 RBI as the AL team defeated the NL
ballclub 3 to 0 at the ballpark.
 
Goslin enjoyed a fine evening at the plate.  He ripped a solo home run in the
1st inning, blasted a two-run home run in the 3rd inning and banged out a
single in the 7th inning.  Neither team managed to score after the 3rd
inning.  
 
The win was credited to George Brunet(1-0) who went 8 innings allowing no
runs. Mike Fornieles got the save, his 1st.  Blake Snell(0-1) was tagged with
the loss.  

The AL shuts out the NL team as Goose Goslin does all the damage on 2 homeruns. Goslin (who wore #4 as a member of the Detroit Tigers between 1934 and 1937) homered off Blake Snell (currently wearing #4 in San Diego, previously in Tampa Bay) in the 1st and 3rd innings. George Brunet (#4 for a brief stint with the Pirates) went 8 shutout innings while Mike Fornieles (debuted with Washington as #4 in 1952) got the save. Gehrig went 0-4 while playing 1B for the AL team.
