Baseball’s All-Star Game edges down to record low viewership
LOS ANGELES (AP) – Baseball’s All-Star Game edged down to a record low in viewership as it reversed last year’s ratings increase.
According to Nielsen Co. ratings out Tuesday, Major League Baseball’s exhibition game drew 8.7 million viewers on Fox last week.
That’s just under the previous record low of 8.71 million viewers in 2016, and 6 percent less than 2017’s audience of 9.28 million.

Although the game ranked as the week’s No. 2 show, it was easily topped by “America’s Got Talent.” The NBC competition show drew 11.3 million viewers.
