Jul 13, 1954 – In the All-Star Game‚ the American League breaks the National League’s 4-game winning streak with an 11-9 win. Larry Doby’s pinch homerun in the 8th‚ followed by Nellie Fox’s 2-run single‚ ends the highest scoring All-Star Game in history. The two teams combine for 31 hits‚ with the AL amassing 17. The Indians Al Rosen has 2 HRs and 5 RBIs; a homer by Ray Boone follows his 3rd inning homer. Cincy stars Ted Kluszewski and Gus Bell also hit homers for the NL. Dean Stone is the winner‚ despite throwing just 2 pitches and retiring no batters. He relieves Bob Keegan in the 8th‚ with Red Schoendienst on third and Alvin Dark on first. With a one-and-one count on Snider‚ Schoendienst tries to steal home and Dean’s throw is in time to get Red. Schoendienst argues it’s a balk. The AL scores 3 runs in the bottom of the inning and Virgil Trucks throws a scoreless 9th to make Stone a cold winner. Gene Conley is the loser.
