David Price
Detroit ace David Price threw 11 pitches and gave up no runs in fourth inning of the All-Star Game Tuesday night in Cincinnati, which was enough to become the game's winning pitcher. The American League won 6-3.
He was the second Detroit Tigers pitcher in a row to win the mid-season game, MLB.com reports. Last year, Max Scherzer won.

The five-time All-Star knew he'd be the third AL pitcher in line, but he didn't know he'd be facing three of the most intimidating hitters the National League could offer.
Up came NL Triple Crown candidate Bryce Harper, NL batting leader Paul Goldschmidt and former NL MVP Buster Posey to face Price in the fourth inning. Price retired them all, striking out Harper and Goldschmidt before Posey lined out.
Also, during the game Tigers shortstop Jose Iglesias dazzled when he made a magical play from deep in the hole to get Yasmani Grandal to end the eighth inning.
