Stats of the Day: Trout leads off with a bang

Mike Trout went deep to become the sixth player in All-Star history to belt a leadoff home run. At 23 years and 341 days old, Trout is the youngest of the sextet, which is also made up of Frankie Frisch (1934), Lou Boudreau ('42), Willie Mays ('65), Joe Morgan ('77) and Bo Jackson ('89). In four of the previous five cases, the leadoff homer led to a team win. Only Frisch, who was representing the NL, had his leadoff home run come in a losing effort.

• Trout won the Ted Williams All-Star Game MVP Award presented by Chevrolet after going 1-for-3 with two runs scored, a walk and a homer.
