Seattle’s Robinson Cano hit a leadoff home run in the 10th inning off Wade Davis of the Chicago Cubs, and the American League topped the National League 2-1 in the All-Star Game on Tuesday night.
It was the first extra-inning home run in an All-Star Game since Tony Perez hit one exactly 50 years ago — July 11, 1967. Perez threw out one of the ceremonial first pitches before Tuesday’s game.
The Minnesota Twins had a great showing in the fifth inning. Third baseman Miguel Sano knocked in a run, and right-hander Brandon Kintzler shut down the NL in order.
