The Texas Rangers made history Tuesday night at T-Mobile Park in Seattle.

In the second inning of the Major League All-Star Game, all six Rangers All-Stars were on the field at the same when right-hander Nathan Eovaldi started the inning.

He joined the five Rangers teammates who started – catcher Jonah Heim, second baseman Marcus Semien, shortstop Corey Seager, third baseman Josh Jung and right fielder Adolis García. Semien, Seager, Heim and Jung were voted in as starters by fans.

The National League won 3-2, its first All-Star Game win since 2012.

According to Elias Sports Bureau, it's the first time one team has had six players on the field at the same time in an All-Star Game since Brooklyn Dodgers in 1951 and the third time all-time. The 1939 Yankees also pulled off the feat.

Those six Dodgers who played the eighth inning at Detroit's Briggs Stadium were pitcher Don Newcombe, catcher Roy Campanella, first baseman Gil Hodges, second baseman Jackie Robinson, shortstop Pee Wee Reese and center fielder Duke Snider.

The second baseman was 0-for-2 with two groundouts to third as the AL leadoff hitter.

Corey Seager

The shortstop lined out to third in the second inning, his only at-bat of the game.

Adolis García

The right-fielder made two circus catches up near the wall while battling the sun. The first came on the first out of the game. The second potentially saved a run in the fourth. He was 0-for-2 with a strikeout and flyout.

Josh Jung

The third baseman was 0-for-2 with a flyout to center and groundout to third.

Jonah Heim

The catcher went 0-for-2 with two strikeouts. He caught five innings and threw out a runner trying to steal second base in the fourth. He joins Ivan Rodriguez as the only Rangers catcher to record a caught stealing in the All-Star Game.

Nathan Eovaldi

The right-hander pitched a scoreless second inning, allowing two singles and recording a strikeout.
