Mike Trout, American League Win All-Star Game 6

Baltimore Orioles third baseman Manny Machado hit an RBI double, then crossed home on a sacrifice by Fielder, which gave the AL a 5-2 lead.

Once the festivities ended, the American League wasted little time taking the lead and quieting the crowd of 43,656 that was partial to the NL’s Reds.

On the offensive side the Senior Circuit scored on a Jhonny Peralta single in the second, an Andrew McCutchen homer in the sixth and a Ryan Braun triple plus a sac fly in the ninth. The past two seasons on opening day, Trout has hit home runs in his first at-bat of the season – both against Hernandez. “You don’t look at him as 23 years old“.

And lest anyone think today’s stars don’t compare favorably to the best players from decades past, consider a previous slice of Cincinnati baseball history.

That home run? It completed a natural cycle in his first at-bat in four straight All-Star games.

MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred presents the MVP trophy to American League’s Mike Trout, of the Los Angeles Angels after the MLB All-Star baseball game, Tuesday, July 14, 2015, in Cincinnati. Colorado shortstop Troy Tulowitzki hit into a fielder’s choice to end the inning. Then he came into a 1-1 game in the fifth inning and let in the go-ahead run and one more. His first-pitch swing to start the sixth sent Rays right-hander Chris Archer’s 85 miles per hour slider into the second deck in left.

In the seventh inning, the American League put the game away. “It was an especially good moment for me”.

“That was definitely cool to see those four guys”, Miller said.

“It was fun, except for giving up the runs”, Kershaw said. The Cubs’ four of Ernie Banks, Ron Santo, Billy Williams and Ryne Sandberg can’t really be quibbled with, though I could have seen one of the stars of the Cubs’ early-1900s World Series teams included.

Keuchel allowed an unearned run and two hits in his two innings. I mean, seeing the Say Hey Kid? This year I’ve been throwing it more.

Only eight players (Barry Bonds, Hank Aaron, Babe Ruth, Alex Rodriguez, Willie Mays, Ken Griffey Jr., Jim Thome and Sammy Sosa) are in that club.

I don’t know about you, but this new changing of the guard has me feeling slightly out of sorts, like someone who blinked and everything changed between the time my eyes closed and opened.

Manfred added “we will not get to the point of exploring relocation unless and until Mr. Sternburg and I in consultation or together reach the conclusion that its not possible to get something done in the market where he exists now. “I got a lot of weak contact”. Though he didn’t find himself in a save situation, he struck out all three batters he faced and regularly touched 103 miles per hour on the radar gun. “If that can happen, he’d have been the guy to do it”, Detroit Tigers pitcher David Price, who was the winning pitcher, said.

“I had no clue they were going to do that”, Frazier said.

Of the eight pitches Hernandez threw, none were fastballs.

The game was so devoid of action, Trout was named the Most Valuable Player.

“By the time he’s done playing, he’s going to be in that group”, New York Yankees first baseman Mark Teixeira said. The young 4-time All-Star was comfortable in the game, his first opponent was something he never faced.
