2004 All-Star Game: Rocket Shelled

For once on the same team with catcher/nemesis Mike Piazza, "The Rocket" Roger Clemens gave up six runs in the first inning of last night's MLB All-Star Game, including a key three-run shot by game MVP Alfonso Soriano. The American League won 9-4, improving Joe Torre's All-Star record to 5-0-1 and giving the AL homefield advantage in the World Series.

In other All-Star festivities, Orioles shortstop Miguel Tejada won the Home Run Derby, thanks in large part to a record-setting fifteen-run second round.
