It's a winning streak now. The National League won their third straight All-Star game on Tuesday night, and did so in historically dominant fashion, earning their largest margin of victory with their 8-0 shutout of the American League. Motivated by Chipper Jones' impassioned clubhouse speech , the NL jumped on a surprisingly ineffective Justin Verlander for five runs in the first, equaling their best first inning output in a midsummer classic. The inning was highlighted by Pablo Sandoval's bases-clearing triple, which, according to Baseball Reference, is a first in All-Star game history. It's also Sandoval's first triple of the season. But as big as Sandoval's hit was, it was actually his San Francisco Giants teammate, Melky Cabrera, who earned MVP honors. Cabrera finished the game 2-for-3 with a two-run homer off Matt Harrison in the fourth and a single. In addition to their success, San Francisco starter Matt Cain was also the winning pitcher, making it a Giant night in Kansas City for the National League.
