Royals catcher Salvador Perez and Matt Wieters of the Orioles were the only two to get in the squat for the AL.
"Obviously you want to get in the game," Vogt told MLB.com's Jane Lee. "That being said, it was really cool for Wieters and Britton to have the ninth together."
Orioles closer Zach Britton recorded the save for the AL, throwing to his battery mate Wieters.
