NEW YORK — Baseball’s All-Stars came to say goodbye to Yankee Stadium — and what a long, long goodbye it was.
In a game that started Tuesday night and faded well into Wednesday, Justin Morneau slid home just in time on Michael Young’s sacrifice fly in the 15th inning, giving the American League a 4-3 victory that extended its unbeaten streak to 12.
Young ended a 4-hour, 40-minute marathon at 1:37 a.m., with the grand old ballpark half-empty. It was a good thing, too — neither team had any pitchers left in the bullpen, but this one was not going to end in another tie.
