Jesse Johnson / USA TODAY Sports
Mike Trout opened the scoring for the American League when he tripled in the bottom of the first inning to score Derek Jeter, but Miguel Cabrera padded the lead with a two-run homer off Adam Wainwright two batters to put the AL up 3-0.
It was the first homer surrendered by Wainwright since May 30.
Wainwright on Cabrera: "He’s a Nintendo-type player. ... The ball is on the white chalk line off the plate. Nobody keeps that ball fair."
