American League Wins All-Star Game
Miguel Cabrera’s two-run homer powered the American League to a 5-3 victory in the All-Star Game last night. The evening belonged to Derek Jeter, the longtime captain of the New York Yankees… who singled and doubled in his final summer classic. Jeter received a standing ovation when he made his first trip to the plate… and a two-and-a-half minute standing ovation when he left the game in the fourth inning. Mike Trout drove in runs with a double and triple, and was named the game’s Most Valuable Player.
Max Scherzer of the Tigers pitched a scoreless fifth inning for the American League, and was named the winning pitcher. Ian Kinsler struck out in his only plate appearance.
Jonathan Lucroy of the Brewers had two hits, and drove in two runs for the National League. Aramis Ramirez also had two hits. Carlos Gomez was hitless in two plate appearances. Francisco Rodriguez pitched a scoreless fifth inning.
The Tigers return to action Friday at home against Cleveland. The Brewers resume play Friday at Washington.
