McCann’s three-run double in the seventh inning provided the NL all the offense it needed to capture its first Mid- summer Classic since 1996 with a 3-1 victory Tuesday night. In a year of dominant pitching, young starters David Price and Ubaldo Jimenez set the tone — and got even more help from the tricky shadows. Nearly the entire field at Angel Stadium was bathed in odd patterns of sunlight for a twilight first pitch, creating more awkward swings and misses than usual in base- ball’s annual talent show.
