The All-Star Game set another ratings low:

The American League’s 4-3 victory over the National League on Tuesday night in Cleveland had a 5.0 rating and 11 share on Fox, according to Nielsen Media Research. The game was seen by an average of 5.93 million households and 8.14 million viewers.

That is down from the previous record low rating of 5.2 and 8.69 million viewers for the AL’s 8-6, 10-inning victory last year.

The game averaged 8,302,000 viewers on Fox, Fox Deportes and Fox streaming services, peaking at 8,592,000 viewers from 9:15-9:30 p.m. EDT.

It was the most-watched Fox prime-time telecast since February and the network’s most-watched Tuesday night since the World Series opener between Boston and the Los Angeles Dodgers last October.

So it was still a big win for Fox. I suspect that the combination of interleague play and the ability to stream all the games makes this event less must see. Almost every day we see the NL compete against the AL. With game available for streaming, we can see the best players anytime.

Put some money on the line. MLB should come up with a $50 million pot for the winning team. We might see a real game at that point.
