MLB All-Star Game 2025 Result: Swing-off tiebreaker to decide the winner

With the game tied, the unprecedented swing-off rule kicked in to produce a winner. Three batters from each team got three swings apiece. The event was introduced in 2022 to prevent All-Star Games from dragging into extra innings.

This year, it came into play for the first time in MLB history.

The following players were involved in the swing-off:

AL: Brent Rooker, Randy Arozarena, Jonathan Aranda

NL: Kyle Stowers, Kyle Schwarber, Pete Alonso

AL went first at the swing off, and Rooker launched two home runs. NL's Kyle Stowers hit one home run. Then came AL's Randy Arozarena, who homered once. Down 3-1, NL's Kyle Schwarber connected on all three swings for three homers to take a pivotal 4-3 lead.

Now, the onus was on Jonathan Aranda to tie or take the lead for AL. However, he couldn't go deep in all three swings, resulting in the NL side taking a 4-3 win. Due to this, NL's third hitter, Pete Alonso, didn't have to take the plate for the swing-off.
