Boston Red Sox player Jarren Duran gave the American League a 5-3 victory over the National League with a two-run homer in the fifth inning of the All-Star Game on Tuesday.

Duran was named the most valuable player of the annual Major League Baseball classic, and the American team triumphed for the 10th time in the last 11 editions.

Pittsburgh Pirates rookie Paul Skenes pitched a no-hitter in the first inning for the Nationals, hitting a two-run ball over 100 mph, and Shohei Ohtani hit a three-run homer in the third to give his team a 3-0 lead.

Juan Soto responded with a two-run double and scored on a single by David Fry to tie the game in the third inning.

Oakland Athletics right-hander Mason Miller earned the win after throwing a 103.8 mph pitch, a record since the statistic was first recorded in the 2008 All-Star Game. Cleveland Guardians reliever Emmanuel Clase struck out two batters in the ninth inning to earn the save.
