The American League defeated the National League 4-0 in the 2026 MLB All-Star Game on July 14, 2026, at Truist Park in Atlanta. This marked the first shutout in the Midsummer Classic since 2013, when the AL also won 3-0 at Citi Field.

Dylan Cease, the San Diego Padres right-hander, started for the NL and allowed one run on one hit over one inning. He later joked about his approach: 'I thought before the game about starting with a changeup and I thought it would be funny.' Cease was charged with the loss.
