Final stats:2-for-3, double, triple, one run, two RBI, one left-on-base
Mike Trout lived up to the hype as the best player in baseball despite his 22 years of age, winning the MVP award and a Corvette in the process. He was the lone Angels player to see game action. AL manager John Farrell couldn’t fit Alex Gordon’s replacement, shortstopErick Aybar, into the game.
First inning:Hitting behind The Captain, who had just led off with a double, Trout hits a bomb to right center. Fellow Los Angeles resident Yasiel Puig misplays the ball at the warning track, allowing it to bounce off the wall and fall for a triple. Jeter scores standing up, giving the AL an early 1-0 lead.
Miguel Cabrera does his thing sending a pitch over into the left field seats. Trout scores and the NL is facing a 3-0 hole.
Third inning:Trout misses out on another chance to bring Jeter in to score. With The Captain on second after singling and advancing on a wild pitch. He hits a screaming line drive to left fielder Carlos Gomez for the first out.
Fifth inning:Facing Pat Neshek with Derek Norris on second and Alexei Ramirez on first, Trout hits a double just over the third base bag. Norris comes in, giving the AL the 4-3 lead. Altuve would follow with a sacrifice fly to left field, scoring Ramirez and adding an insurance run to the AL lead. The game would end 5-3.
