PHILADELPHIA ¨C It took Cody Bellinger seven years to get back to the Midsummer Classic. Now he¡¯s part of a select club in the event¡¯s history.
Bellinger and New York Yankees ?teammate Ben Rice hit consecutive RBI singles during a three-run first inning, and the American League pitched a three-hitter in a 4-0 victory over the National League in the MLB All-Star Game on Tuesday night.
With Bellinger driving in two, he was ultimately named the game¡¯s MVP, joining fellow Yankees Derek Jeter (2000), Mariano Rivera (2013) and Giancarlo Stanton (2022) who have earned the honor. (The game¡¯s MVP award was introduced in 1962.)
