What Time Does the 2013 MLB All-Star Game Start? Where to Watch

By Todd Richissin

The Major League Baseball All-Star Game is here, which must be a hint that  summer is in full swing.

OK, so maybe those searing temperatures outside already told you that. All the more reason to join your neighbors in Harford and Cecil counties for some air-conditioned coolness while watching the mid-summer classic.

Look for Baltimore Orioles starters Chris Davis, J.J. Hardy and Adam Jones, along with reserve Manny Machado and pitcher Chris Tillman. The last time the Orioles sent five players to the midsummer classic was in 1997, when starters Roberto Alomar, Brady Anderson and Cal Ripken were joined by pitchers Mike Mussina and Jimmy Key

For the Washington Nationals, Bryce Harper is starting, and Jordan Zimmermann is on the roster.

The game starts at 8 p.m. on Fox, but a full MLB All-Star Game television schedule is in place.

The 2013 Home Run Derby was Monday night. Davis made it to the second round and Harper made it to the finals, but lost to Oakland Athletic Yoenis Cespedes.

Here are some sports bars in Harford and Cecil counties:

• Bill Bateman's Raw Bar & Grille 
• Buffalo Wild Wings 
• Half Pints Sports Pub & Grill 
• The Greene Turtle Sports Bar & Grille
• The Towne Pub & Restaurant
