Milwaukee Brewers left-hander Chris Capuano was a last-minute addition Sunday to the NL All-Star team, replacing New York Mets left-hander Tom Glavine.
Capuano is 10-4 with a 3.21 ERA and 112 strikeouts in 129 innings for the Brewers, shutting out the Cubs on six hits Thursday night in his final start before the All-Star break. This will be his first All-Star game.
Glavine, 40, will attend Tuesday night's game in Pittsburgh, but chose to be replaced on the NL team because he started Sunday against Florida.
Chicago Cubs right-hander Mark Prior was a late scratch from Sunday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers because of strained muscle on his left side.
Prior, who is 0-4 with a 7.71 ERA, was replaced by Glendon Rusch (2-7).
Tadahito Iguchi hit a bases-loaded single in the bottom of the 19th inning Sunday and the Chicago White Sox beat the Boston Red Sox 6-5 in a 6-hour, 19-minute marathon -- the longest by innings in U.S. Cellular Field history.
It was the longest game by both innings and time in the majors this season.
Cliff Politte (2-2), the eighth White Sox pitcher, worked the top of the 19th for the win.
Pittsburgh beat Houston 8-7 in 18 innings on May 27. The game lasted 5 hours and 49 minutes and was the longest game this season by innings and time before Sunday.
