Things seemed pretty dismal for the National League in ninth inning of the All-Star game last night in San Francisco. The team was down three runs with two outs and a runner on first. Chicago Cubs leftfielder Alfonso Soriano did his part by cracking a two-run homer into the rightfield stands. Later in the same inning, fellow Cubs teammate Derrek Lee would walk to keep hope alive. However, the National League could not pull out the victory, as former White Sox player Aaron Rowand made the last out, and the team lost to the American League 5-4.

The only Chicago White Sox player represented at the game, pitcher Bobby Jenks, did not make it into the game.

Full recap is here.
