Alex Bregman Wins 2018 MLB All-Star Game MVP

Houston Astros third baseman Alex Bregman was named the 2018 MLB All-Star Game MVP after he smashed a go-ahead solo home run in the top of the 10th inning Tuesday night at Nationals Park in Washington, D.C.

Thanks to Bregman's shot—and a back-to-back blast from teammate George Springer—the floodgates opened and the American League downed the National League, 8-6, for its sixth straight Midsummer Classic victory.

According to ESPN Stats & Info, Bregman and Springer joined the Los Angeles Dodgers duo of Steve Garvey and Jimmy Wynn (1975) as the only sets of teammates to hit back-to-back home runs in All-Star Game history.
