Adolis Garcia on Tuesday became the fourth Texas player to hit a double in an All-Star Game and he and Rangers teammates Joey Gallo and Kyle Gibson were on the winning side in the American League’s 5-2 win over the National League at Coors Field in Denver.
The AL won its eighth consecutive All-Star Game in large part due to Toronto Blue Jays slugger Vladimir Guerrero Jr., who had a two-run homer in the third inning and was named the All-Star Game MVP.
At 22 years old, Guerrero is the youngest player to win the award.
Los Angeles Angels superstar Shohei Ohtani batted leadoff for the AL and also was the starting pitcher, registering the win.
Gallo, who was eliminated early in the Home Run Derby on Monday night and now finds himself the subject of trade rumors, earned a walk in the eighth inning. His late-game presence, along with Garcia's, meant two Rangers in the same All-Star outfield for the first time.
Rangers pitcher Gibson also participated as he allowed one hit in a scoreless third inning in which he threw 12 pitches.
