News - 2022 MLB All-Star Game: Best sights and sounds from Los Angeles

The 2022 MLB All-Star Game has officially gone Hollywood as Dodger Stadium hosts the biggest and brightest names in baseball.

It'll be familiar territory for Los Angeles Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw, who is just the sixth pitcher in the past 40 years to start the All-Star Game in his home park.

The Midsummer Classic has been one-sided in recent years, with the American League riding an eight-game winning streak. The AL also has a three-game edge on the series' overall record of 46-43-2.

The National League has lost 20 of the past 24 All-Star Games, but hopes to get back in the win column in this year's 92nd edition of the midseason showdown with manager Brian Snitker of the defending champion Atlanta Braves.

In the opposing dugout, Dusty Baker, manager of the reigning AL champion Houston Astros, looks to keep the status quo.

Here are the best sights and sounds from Los Angeles, along with a few All-Star Game predictions from MLB experts Jeff Passan, Buster Olney, Alden Gonzalez and David Schoenfield.

Giancarlo Stanton just hit a ball into Chavez Ravine to tie this game. OK, it was only 457 feet and 111.7 mph exit velocity. Do the Home Run Derby next year, Giancarlo! Dodgers pitcher Tony Gonsolin didn't even turn around. He also didn't turn around as Byron Buxton, the next batter, followed with a 425-foot home run with a 107.7 mph exit velocity. We don't have the official numbers going back to 1933, but let's call it anyway: The two hardest-hit home runs in one inning in All-Star history
