On July 12, 1994 — At the Pirates’ Three Rivers Stadium, the National League ends its record six-game Mid Summer Classic slump when Tony Gwynn scores on Moises Alou’s double in the tenth inning, giving the Senior Circuit an 8-7 victory. Fred McGriff is named MVP, earning the honor with his dramatic two-run home run off Lee Smith that tied the game in the bottom of the ninth. Houston P John Hudek becomes the first pitcher in history to appear in an All-Star Game before recording a major league victory.
The NL is now a perfect 9 – 0 in extra-inning contests.
