AMERICAN LEAGUE WINS MID-SUMMER CLASSIC
Cleveland's Alonso named MVP
07/17/2019
By Jason Frampton

Yonder Alonso hit a two-run homerun in the fourth inning, which was the only homerun in the ballgame as the American League came away with a 4-1 victory at Progressive Field.

For his efforts, he was named as the game's MVP in front of the home fans, who gave him a nice ovation for each of his two at-bats, and a standing ovation when he received the MVP.

The two-time All-Star was "humbled" by the honor, and said there might have been more deserving players, but that he enjoyed winning it in front of his home fans.

"There are a lot of players in this game I consider to be much better than me," he told Fox Sports' Frank Thomas after the game. "I'm incredibly humbled to win this award, especially here at home in Cleveland for the fans."
