The Guardians sent a large contingent to Arlington, Texas for the All-Star Game , and all five took the field Tuesday night, with three of the Cleveland players making an impact in the American League's 5-3 win.

Third baseman Jose Ramirez , left fielder Steven Kwan , closer Emmanuel Clase , catcher David Fry and first baseman Josh Naylor represented Cleveland on the American League All-Star team. They each have played a big role in the Guardians entering the break with the AL's best record (in addition to being able to select Travis Bazzana with the No. 1 overall pick in the draft ).

Ramirez and Kwan are in the starting lineup as voted upon by baseball fans, with Kwan leading off. Ramirez also took part in Monday's Home Run Derby . Kwan scored a run during the AL's three-run rally in the third, which Fry capped with an RBI single. Clase, the MLB saves leader since 2021, closed out the AL victory.

Here's how the 2024 MLB All-Star Game unfolded through our updates.

Jarren Duran named All-Star Game MVP

Young Boston Red Sox outfielder Jarren Duran was named the game's MVP following the 5-3 American League win, winning the award named in honor of Red Sox legend Ted Williams.

Duran went 1-for-2, with the hit being his decisive two-run home run in the fifth inning to break a 3-3 tie. Duran was making his All-Star Game debut and becomes the third Red Sox player to homer in his first All-Star Game, joining J.D. Drew (2008) and David Ortiz (2004).

All-Star Game live stats: Kirby Yates pitches a scoreless eighth inning

The American League could have had Kirby Yates try to close out the game in front his home crowd in Texas, but instead, he pitched the eighth inning, which has likely set up Emmanuel Clase to pitch the ninth.

So instead of watching their favorite reliever end the All-Star Game, Rangers fans might actually watch the elite closer that Texas gave up for one inning of Corey Kluber close it out.
