Fox is expected to easily top the ratings for last night with its broadcast of the MLB All-Star Game, which is down from last year. In overnight household ratings, the drop was 12%. Time-zone adjusted fast nationals will be released later this morning. The regular fast nationals, which could serve as a rough estimate, have the game averaging a 3.4 rating/10 share among adults 18-49 and 11.1 million viewers overall.

Airing against baseball, NBC’s America’s Got Talent (3.2/9, 11.1 million) at 9 PM was down 3% from last week, ranking as the top-rated non-sports program for the night. Two underachievers, NBC’s Losing It With Jillian (1.4/5) at 8 PM and ABC’s Downfall (1.3/4) at 9 PM, which followed a rerun Wipeout (2.7/9), got a ratings uptick, 17% and 8%, respectively. ABC News Primetime: Family Secrets (1.3/4) was also up one tenth from its season premiere last week. CBS aired drama repeats.
