Brian McCann made sure the National League All-Star drought ended Tuesday in Anaheim.  The Atlanta Braves catcher belted a three-run double in the seventh inning off Matt Thornton to lift the Nationals to a 3-1 win.

Chicago Cubs right fielder Marlon Byrd threw out Red Sox designated hitter David Ortiz in the second to slow an American rally in the ninth inning. Los Angeles Dodger closer Jonathan Broxton picked up the save for the National League.
