TAIPEI, Taiwan -- Washington Nationals first baseman Michael Morse hit a two-run single in the sixth inning to lead the MLB All-Star team to a 3-2 win over the Taiwan national team Saturday.

Ryan Roberts of the Arizona Diamondbacks led off the inning with a walk and went to third on a double to right-center field by Robinson Cano of the New York Yankees.

Starting pitcher Dillon Gee of the New York Mets allowed one run and five hits in five innings.

Saturday's game in the southern Taiwanese city of Kaohsiung was the fourth of the five-game series. The MLB squad has won all four games.
