Young hit a two-run triple in the ninth inning off the Padres' Trevor Hoffman that led the AL to a 3-2 victory Tuesday night in the All-Star Game held in Pittsburgh. The win gave the AL home-field advantage in the World Series for the fourth straight year. "I'm not going to lie, this is a pretty big highlight in my baseball career," Young said. "We're all aware of how important this game is."
