Mike Trout tripled in a run and doubled in another to win MVP honors as the American League defeated the National League 5-3 in Tuesday's All-Star Game.
Trout tripled off the right-field wall in the first inning to score Derek Jeter. After lining out in the third inning, he doubled in Derek Norris in the fifth in what turned out to be the game-winning RBI. Miguel Cabrera had an argument for MVP honors with his two-run homer and many thought it would be Derek Jeter in a symbolic gesture (and his two hits didn't hurt), but Trout was the right choice.
