The United States continued its recent dominance at the MLB All-Star Futures Game on Sunday with a 10-6 victory over the World Team at Nationals Park in Washington, D.C.
The annual showcase features some of the best minor-league prospects in the game in a prospect showcase, and the Americans won for the eighth time in nine years. Torii Hunter managed the Red, White and Blue, while David Ortiz served as the skipper for the World Team in a slugfest that featured eight home runs.
Los Angeles Angels prospect Jo Adell put the United States ahead for good in the seventh when he scored on a wild pitch, and New York Mets prospect Peter Alonso added some insurance with a towering two-run homer in the next at-bat.
