For his efforts, which also included driving in another run via a groundout in the fifth, Guerrero Jr. became the youngest All-Star Game MVP in MLB history at 22 years, 119 days. After Tuesday night, the Guerreros joined the Bonds (Bobby and Barry) and the Griffeys (Ken Sr. and Ken Jr.) as the only father-son duos to hit home runs in the All-Star Game.

Tampa Bay's Mike Zunino also got in on the home-run action by going yard in the sixth inning, while Philadelphia's J.T. Realmuto hit the game's third home run in the fifth inning for the NL. The AL had nine hits compared to the NL's eight.

No AL pitcher went beyond an inning pitched; Milwaukee's Corbin Burnes was the lone pitcher of the game to go longer than that by throwing two frames..
