For Cub fans, the big news at Tuesday's All-Star Game was Alfonso Soriano's home run in the bottom of the ninth inning. The homer cleared the right-field fence with room to spare.
The Cub left fielder hit a two-run blast that brought the National League within one run of the American League. That, however, was as far as the rally went, with the American League finishing off a 5-4 victory.
Derrek Lee also appeared in the game and hit a single to center field in the eighth inning, after which he stole second.
The season takes off again on Friday, when the Houston Astros arrive at Wrigley Field for an afternoon game. Carlos Zambrano will lead the Cubs into battle.
With any luck, the Cubs may still finish the season above .500.
