Stanton, who went to Notre Dame High School in adjacent Sherman Oaks and grew up 30 minutes from Dodger Stadium, said, “I can’t really convey how great this is. It’s difficult to express that this is the current situation. I’m taking everything in.”
The American League defeated the National League 3-2 and claimed its eighth straight victory in the Midsummer Classic thanks to two home runs from Giancarlo Stanton and Byron Buxton. Stanton’s game-changing fourth-inning bomb eliminated the National League’s two-run advantage. The first players to back-to-back in an All-Star Game since 2018 are Stanton and Buxton.
