Cardinals first baseman Matt Carpenter hit a home run for the sixth straight game Saturday night, the longest single-season streak in franchise history.

Shin-Soo Choo's streak of reaching base safely has been snapped at 52 games -- the longest such single-season streak in Rangers history.

Choo went 0-for-4 in Saturday night's 16-3 loss to the Indians in Arlington, Texas. Choo was pulled from the game in the eighth inning after grounding into a fielder's choice.

Alex Bregman was named the MVP of Tuesday night's All-Star Game after he hit a go-ahead home run for the American League in the 10th inning.

Bregman's home run was one of a record 10 in the game.

"There's a great love affair with both results. I mean, to kind of empty your tank and hit homers tonight at this event is probably the best thing imaginable," A.J. Hinch said. "Just to have that kind of emotion that comes with the home run, especially when the big boys hit it and especially when the [Houston] Astros hit it."

The 24-year-old is a first-time All-Star in his third season.

Rangers designated hitter Shin-Soo Choo reached on an infield single with two outs in the ninth inning of Sunday's 3-0 win over the Detroit Tigers to extend his on-base streak to 47 games.

Shortstop Alcides Escobar wasn't in the Kansas City Royals' starting lineup Sunday and his consecutive games played streak ended at 421, which was the longest active streak in the majors.

It's the first game he missed since Sept. 25, 2015, when Royals manager Ned Yost rested several starters against the Cleveland Indians after his team clinched the AL Central title the night before.
