The lefty stepped to the plate when a 6-6 tie after nine innings sent the midsummer classic to the first "swing-off" in the game's history. Schwarber efficiently used his three swings to launch three homers and beat the American League 4-3 in the "Home Runs For The Win" contest that decided the game.

The NL chose Kyle Stowers from the Marlins, Kyle Schwarber from the Phillies and Pete Alonso from the Mets. Schwarber was the hero. Fox Sports' Ken Rosenthal asked him before he strolled to the plate if he was feeling any pressure. "A little bit," Schwarber replied with a chuckle.
