The American League rallied from a four-run deficit and defeated the National League, 7-6, before a crowd of 47,609. Texas Rangers third baseman Hank Blalock hit a two-run homer in the eighth inning to cap the scoring. It was the sixth win in the past seven All-Star Games for the AL.

Anaheim Angels outfielder Garret Anderson went 3 for 4 with a double and a two-run homer to earn MVP honors. He won the Home Run Derby a night earlier.

Reliever Mike Williams was the lone Pirates representative but he did not play.
