The Twins and Pirates played to a draw through eight innings on Sunday as MLB wraps up its first half. The Pirates rallied against Jhoan Duran in the ninth, however, and held on for a 2-1 victory and avoiding a sweep in Minneapolis.

The NL bested the AL in the most exciting All-Star Game in years Tuesday night. The second half begins Friday and, in only 15 days, the trade deadline will be upon us.
