The 87th edition of the MLB All-Star Game has concluded.

The American League won 4-2, with a pair of Kansas City Royals in Eric Hosmer (2-for-3, HR, 2 RBI) and Salvador Perez (1-for-2, HR, 2 RBI) leading the offensive charge.

Hosmer earned MVP honors for his efforts.

The National League got on the board first with a solo home run from Chicago Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant in the top of the first and also got an RBI double from Marcell Ozuna of the Miami Marlins in the fourth inning, but that was all it mustered offensively.

Atlanta Braves catcher Tyler Flowers suffered a broken hand on Saturday against the Chicago White Sox, and he's slated to miss a big chunk of time after the All-Star break.

Flowers Out 4-6 Weeks

Tuesday, July 12

Citing sources, Jon Heyman of Today's Knuckleball relayed the update. 

The rosters for the 2016 Midsummer Classic are set, and Tuesday night (8 p.m. ET) we'll see the American League and National League vie for World Series home-field advantage at Petco Park.

Or, rather, we'll see the Chicago Cubs and Boston Red Sox go head-to-head with a few friends they brought along. The Cubs are responsible for four NL starters, making up the entire infield.

MLB will display a talent renaissance during Tuesday night's All-Star Game, which will be headlined by up-and-coming studs.

The Midsummer Classic starters aren't much older than Sunday's MLB Futures Game participants. In fact, 23-year-old Bryce Harper is younger than 10 of those minor league stars who were fighting to sit at the big kids' table.

The 2016 Major League Baseball All-Star Game is nearly here, and the star-studded festivities shouldn't disappoint when things get underway Tuesday night from Petco Park in San Diego.

But before the first pitch flies at 8 p.m. ET on Fox, it's worth taking some time to acquaint yourself with this year's rosters and starting lineups, which you can view below courtesy of ESPN Stats & Info on Twitter: 

On Monday, Giancarlo Stanton became the first player in Miami Marlins history to win the Home Run Derby.

Bleacher Report will be bringing sports fans the most interesting and engaging Cold Hard Fact of the day, presented by Coors Light.

The 2016 MLB Home Run Derby was a raging success in the second year of a new format, which featured timed rounds and a refreshing change of pace to an event that critics could argue tended to drag in the past.

Miami Marlins slugger Giancarlo Stanton wowed fans at Petco Park in San Diego, taking down defending champion Todd Frazier in the final to claim victory.

No matter which team you root for during the regular season, there is plenty to watch at the 2016 MLB All-Star Game.

While the starting lineups are dominated by two teams—the Chicago Cubs and Boston Red Sox will have eight starters between the two sides—each organization has a representative at the Midsummer Classic. Additionally, there are plenty of well-known players to follow on both teams, from young superstars to well-known veterans.

Before long, the stars will descend on San Diego's Petco Park and Major League Baseball's annual midsummer bash will begin. The wait for the 2016 All-Star Game is over.

Looking to get up to speed on what this year's game is all about? You've come to the right place.

The National League will try to end a three-game winning streak for the American League when they square off Tuesday in the 2016 MLB All-Star Game at San Diego’s Petco Park.
