NEW YORK: Baseball's All-Star Game drew a record low in viewers for the second straight year.
The National League's 3-2 win over the American League in Seattle on Tuesday (Wednesday in Manila) was seen by 7,006,000 viewers on Fox, down from 7.51 million last year. The game drew a 3.9 rating, down from a 4.2 last year, and a 12 share, the same as for the American League's 3-2 victory in Los Angeles in 2022.
The Home Run Derby on Monday, won by Toronto's Vladimir Guerrero Jr., drew 6.11 million viewers on ESPN, down 11 percent from 6.88 million last year in Los Angeles, where the network had the advantage of a larger local market. The derby was ESPN's most-watched event of the summer.
