The American League’s Jarren Duran, of the Boston Red Sox, flips his bat after hitting a tiebreaking two-run home run during the fifth inning of the MLB All-Star Game on Tuesday night in Arlington, Texas. Duran, who starred at Cypress High and Long Beach State, was named the game’s MVP after the AL won, 5-3.
Duran is the fifth Boston player to be an All-Star MVP, the first since J.D. Drew in 2008. The others were Pedro Martinez in 1999, Roger Clemens in 1986 and Carl Yastrzemski in 1970. “I haven’t really hit well in the All-Star Game, so I’m just relieved that I put the ball in play,” Ohtani said. “I just focused on having a regular at-bat as if I was in the regular season.”
Baltimore’s Anthony Santander, after taking over for Soto in right field, had a two-out single in the fifth before Duran’s 413-foot homer to right-center after he had replaced Judge in center.
