A look at what’s happening all around the majors Tuesday:

STARS ALIGN?

Home Run Derby champ Aaron Judge, Carlos Correa and their teammates have a chance to do something the American League hasn’t accomplished in more than five decades – pull even in the All-Star Game rivalry. The AL has won four in a row, but still trails 43-42 with two ties going into the Midsummer Classic at Marlins Park.

It was 17-all going into the 1965 game at Metropolitan Stadium in Minnesota. Willie Mays hit a leadoff home run and with Juan Marichal starting, Sandy Koufax getting the win and Bob Gibson earning a save, the NL posted a 6-5 victory that put the Senior Circuit ahead to stay.
