(Reuters) - Mike Trout and Brian Dozier homered, while Prince Fielder drove in two runs as the American League beat the National League 6-3 in the Major League Baseball All-Star Game on Tuesday in Cincinnati.

The victory gave the American League home field advantage for this year's World Series.

David Price of the Detroit Tigers was credited with the win, and Los Angeles Dodgers Clayton Kershaw took the loss.

Trout, who led off the contest with a home run off Dodgers' right-hander Zack Greinke and scored another run, was named the game's Most Valuable Player, becoming the first player to win the Ted Williams Trophy in successive years.
