The fireworks were delayed, but Miguel Vargas made sure it was worth the wait.
The Chicago White Sox third baseman woke up Citizens Bank Park with an absolute bomb for the first home run of the 2026 MLB All-Star Game in the top of the eighth inning. Vargas connected on a slider on the inner half of the plate from Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Justin Wrobleski and boomed it 433 feet into the second deck in left field to put the American League up 4-0.
The AL All-Stars got off to a quick 3-0 lead after ambushing National League starter Christopher Sánchez in his home ballpark. But the bats quickly cooled off from both sides after that until Vargas' solo shot in the penultimate frame to break up the pitchers party.
