Toronto Blue Jays slugger Vladimir Guerrero Jr. was named the 2021 MLB All-Star Game Most Valuable Player on Tuesday night. The 22-year-old went 1-for-3 with two RBI, including a mammoth 468-foot home run to left field as the American League defeated the National League, 5-2.
It's the eighth consecutive victory for the AL.

In his first All-Star Game, Guerrero did something his father, Vladimir Guerrero Sr., never accomplished in nine ASG appearances: capture MVP honors. He's also the youngest MVP in All-Star Game history and the first player in Blue Jays history to take home the award.
