Crawford's glove runs AL's unbeaten streak to 13 All-Star Games

Carl Crawford's glove and a dominant bullpen helped save the AL's streak.

Crawford pulled back a home run with a leaping grab an inning before Curtis Granderson tripled and scored the tiebreaking run in the eighth, giving the American League a 4-3 victory Tuesday night at the new Busch Stadium.

The AL has won seven straight games since 2002's 7-7, 11-inning tie at Milwaukee and is 12-0-1 since its 1996 defeat at Philadelphia -- the longest unbeaten streak in All-Star history.
