Bo power gives AL second straight All-Star win
Bo Jackson sparked the American League to a 5-3 victory over the National League in Anaheim. His first at bat produced a 448-foot tape measure homer, he stole a base and added a single in six innings as he earned the All-Star Game MVP honor. Wade Boggs also homered, Ruben Sierra added two hits, while Nolan Ryan pitched two one-hit innings for the win and Doug Jones secured the save. The NL lineup featured Kevin Mitchell and Howard Johnson with early RBI hits, but the AL bullpen and Jackson’s play pushed the league to its first back-to-back All-Star wins since 1957-58.
