Full Tuesday scoreboard with recaps and box scores for every game
3 UP
Asdrubal Cabrera, Indians: The shortstop hit a two-run walkoff home run off Reds closer Aroldis Chapman. So after a bit of a funk -- that included being swept last week by the Reds -- the Indians have now won two straight over their cross-state foes. The shot by Cabrera did more than simply win the game, too, as it also lifted the Indians into first place in the AL Central.
Angels' 1-4 hitters: Good lord. Mike Trout, Torii Hunter, Albert Pujols and Mark Trumbo combined to go 11-for-17 with two doubles, a triple, a home run, 10 runs and 10 RBI.
Jason Heyward, Braves: In snapping a three-game losing streak for the Braves -- and a 10-game winning streak for the Yankees -- Heyward did a little of everything. He went 2-for-3 with a triple, a run and an RBI. He also nailed Mark Teixeira at home plate with a laser from right field. And the Braves won by one.
3 DOWN
Brewers/Blue Jays pitching: Both offenses were relentless in answering each other for most of the game, but the pitching staffs just kept coughing up leads. It was a 2-0 Blue Jays lead. Then a 4-2 Brewers lead. Then a 6-4 Blue Jays lead. Then a 9-6 Brewers lead. Then a 9-8 Brewers lead. Then a 10-9 Blue Jays victory. In all, 19 runs, 23 hits, seven home runs and five doubles.
Mark Buehrle, Marlins: For the first time in nearly three years, Buehrle allowed three home runs in one game (last time was July 12, 2009). He was knocked around by the Red Sox for seven hits and six earned runs in five innings and the Marlins have now dropped 10 of their last 12.
Daniel Hudson, Diamondbacks: Through four innings, Hudson was spotted five runs by his offense, but his inconsistent season continued. The man who just beat the Rangers after getting crushed by the A's was shellacked by the Mariners. In four-plus innings, Hudson allowed 10 hits and seven earned runs, raising his season ERA to 6.60. The D-Backs would end up burning six relievers and losing in 10 innings. 
Southside sweep? The White Sox entered their series with the crosstown rival Cubs in first place of the AL Central. Meanwhile, the Cubs were in last place in the NL Central. The White Sox swept the Cubs in Wrigley Field last time the two clubs squared off. So this one should have been easy. Instead, the Cubs have taken the first two games in U.S. Cellular Field and the White Sox need a win Wednesday to avoid a sweep. It'll be Randy Wells (1-1, 4.50) against Gavin Floyd (4-7, 5.63). 8:10 p.m. ET
Erie sweep? The Reds swept the Indians in Cincy last week, and now the Indians attempt to get a sweep at home themselves in this series between the two Ohio teams. Justin Masterson (3-6, 4.38) gets the ball for the Tribe while Bronson Arroyo (3-4, 3.84) will pitch for the Reds. 7:05 p.m. ET
Stras the Stopper? The Nationals were sitting real pretty last week, getting up to 15 games over .500 (38-23) and riding a six-game winning streak into a home series against the mighty Yankees. And now the Nats have lost four straight. Who better to have on the mound to break the streak than Stephen Strasburg (8-1, 2.45), who takes on Chris Archer and the Rays. Archer is a 23-year-old right hander and will be making his major-league debut. 7:05 p.m. ET
Wednesday's probable pitchers
• Lost ... and Found: Scott Kazmir was a two-time All-Star before his 25th birthday. He led the AL with 239 strikeouts in 2007. And now, at age 28, Kazmir is "expected to join" the Sugarland Skeeters, reports Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports. That's an independent ball club. Before you feel too sorry for Kazmir, realize he's already made over $30 million in his career.
• Celeb Game: One of the fun (well, that may be stretching it) events surrounding the All-Star Game is the Legends & Celebrity Softball Game. MLB.com has the participants, which include George Brett, Dave Winfield, Ernie Banks, Andre Dawson, Bo Jackson, Rickey Henderson and more from the players end ... and Jon Hamm, David Cook, Matt Cassel, James Denton, Horatio Sanz and more from the celeb end.
• A 50-man Hall of Fame? What if the hallowed Hall was limited to a mere 50 players? High Heat Seats is holding a vote to see what 50 players in the history of the game would make up the "inner circle" of the Hall.
• Please come watch us!White Sox general manager Kenny Williams on whether low attendance would affect his ability to make certain moves in the upcoming weeks prior to the trade deadline: “Yes,’’ Williams said. “I don’t want to expound. Then I get buried because I’m crying about money.’’ [Chicago Sun Times] Only the Rays, A's and Indians ranked lower in attendance heading into Tuesday night.
