Five ChiSox help NL stomp AL in All-Star Game -- Myatt named AS MVP
As far as 1st halves go, the White Sox has to be happy with what they have accomplished. The All-Star game was another reason why to showcase some of those successes. The NL stomped the AL in the Midsummer Classic, 21-5. Below are how the representatives did during the All Star festivities:
Enos Myatt - Started at RF and played the whole game. Went 3-for-6 with a double, 2 Home Runs, scored 3 times, drove in 5 runs, and walked once. He was named the All-Star MVP. He also finished 2nd in the Home Run Derby behind Napoleon Warden. Myatt hit a total of 38 Home Runs, the most of any contestant, but fell to Warden in the final round, 12-8.
Pablo Melendez - Started at 2nd Base for NL and played the whole game. Went 1-for-5 with a Home Run and 2 walks, 3 Runs and 3 RBI.
Herb Fingers - Started at C and played the 1st half of the game. He went 1-for-3 with a walk and a run scored. He also threw out Braden Davis at 2nd base in the 2nd inning.
Kevin Yang - Did not start, but substituted for Cookie Perez at LF in the 5th inning. He went 3-for-3 with a Home Run, drove in 2 runs and scored twice.
Javier Pinzon -- Relieved starter Wilt Cressend in the 3rd inning. Pitched 1 scoreless inning, only surrendering a single by Andrew Bell.
Oswaldo Quevedo - Did not play, due to pitching in the final game before the All Star Break.
