The All-Star Game MVP began in 1962. No MVPs were selected from 1933-1961.
The NL got two runs in the first inning, highlighted by a solo HR by Paul Goldschmidt of St. Louis, but were shut out the rest of the way.
In the top of the fourth, Stanton hit a 2-run, 457-ft. HR, then the Twins’ Byron Buxton made it back-to-back HR to give the AL the 3-2 lead, and that was all the scoring in the game.
