He was the most valuable player on the winning team. But he wasn’t the MVP. That “honor” went to hometown pitcher, Shane Bieber, who struck out three hitters in his lone inning of work. We’re not bitter though because Texas Rangers’ slugger, Joey Gallo, became the most efficient hitter in the history of the All-Star Game (not fact-checked) when he hit a solo home run on the only pitch he saw at the Midsummer Classic.
Gallo, who has become one of the most feared hitters in the league, was chosen as a reserve for the 2019 All-Star Game after missing out on a starting spot during the fan vote.
