Miguel Cabrera and Gregory Soto of the Detroit Tigers are on the winning side of the MLB All-Star Game.
On Tuesday at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, Detroit Tigers designated hitter Miguel Cabrera and left-handed reliever Gregory Soto represented the American League in the 2022 All-Star Game.
Cabrera, 39, was named to his 12th All-Star Game, this time as a "All-Star Legends Selection" with St. Louis Cardinals legend Albert Pujols, by commissioner Rob Manfred.
Soto, 27, was named to his second straight All-Star team in his second year as the Tigers' closer and fourth MLB season.

Cabrera came in as a pinch-hitter for Shohei Ohtani (Los Angeles Angels) in the fifth inning and took over as the AL's designated hitter. Cabrera, facing Cincinnati Reds right-hander Luis Castillo, grounded out to shortstop on the second pitch for the first out.
Cabrera had just one plate appearance. In the seventh inning, ex-Tiger J.D. Martinez (Boston Red Sox) pinch-hit for Cabrera and struck out on three pitches against right-hander Devin Williams (Milwaukee Brewers).
Soto came in with two outs in the bottom of the seventh inning to face Ian Happ (Chicago Cubs), who had retired the first two hitters of the inning. Soto led Happ 0-2 before throwing four consecutive balls for a walk.
Putting Happ on first sent Juan Soto (Washington Nationals) to the plate, who had won the Home Run Derby in 2022. With his first pitch against the Nationals' Soto, the Tigers' Soto threw the quickest pitch of his appearance, a 100.4 mph sinker.
To close the inning, he grounded into a force out.
