Giancarlo Stanton put on a show for the fans on Tuesday to win his first All-Star Game MVP. His two-run homer to left field in the fourth inning helped the American League edge out a 3-2 victory over the National League.In a game that will be remembered for pitching, both teams combined for only five runs off 13 total hits. That made Stanton's contribution on the offensive side that much more important. Stanton wasn't fooled by an 83 mph slider from the Los Angeles Dodgers' Tony Gonsolin and absolutely crushed a 457-foot homer.Jomboy Media@JomboyMediaGiancarlo injured this baseball8925666Giancarlo injured this baseball https://t.co/L5tfI5a7UmIt was a memorable night for the California native, who returned home for his fifth career All-Star appearance.

Crazy https://t.co/ScNHfpAiTiThe New York Yankees outfielder is currently hitting .237/.319./.516 with 24 home runs in 61 RBIs. He ranks third in home runs in the American League and fourth in RBIs this season. He accounts for 15% of this Yankee team's home runs this season. If we were to hypothetically remove the MVP favorite Aaron Judge from the lineup, he would be hitting close to 20% of the team’s home runs.rynamay (she/hers)@rynamay@JomboyMedia Remember when some guy on @MLBNetwork said that Stanton “couldn’t hit elite pitching”? 1@JomboyMedia Remember when some guy on @MLBNetwork said that Stanton “couldn’t hit elite pitching”? 👀After starting the season under some pressure, Stanton has responded to his critics in resounding fashion. This was his first All-Star appearance since 2017, and he was 0-7 in his previous seven ASG at-bats.Yankees Slut@YankeesSlutGiancarlo Stanton joins Mariano Rivera and Derek Jeter as the only Yankees to win All Star Game MVP.

Pure strength!#ASG2022 #RepBX1Highest exit velocity for a HR at a #ASG game! Damn Stanton really be doing the thing! Pure strength!#ASG2022 #RepBXThis season has been one of Stanton's better ones in a New York jersey. Fans will still expect more from the slugger, who hit a league-leading 59 regular season home runs in 2017 for the Miami Marlins. Hopefully, this All-Star Game performance will give him the confidence to power the Yankees to a deep playoff run.Since the Yankees have not reached a World Series since his 2018 arrival, the pressure is building on Giancarlo Stanton to reach previous high levels.
