The home run was the only hit for Cano in two at-bats that night, but it was enough to earn him the fan vote for Most Valuable Player honors for the event.

Both teams’ pitchers were outstanding in the early innings, with the NL having the best chance to score in the third inning. With New York Yankees reliever Dellin Betances on the mound, the NL got a leadoff single from Cincinnati Reds shortstop Zack Cozart before striking out twice. That was followed by walks to Washington Nationals outfielder Bryce Harper and San Francisco Giants catcher Buster Posey to load the bases with two outs.
