Mike Trout Leads Off 2015 MLB All-Star Game with Home Run off Zack Greinke

Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Zack Greinke entered the 2015 MLB All-Star Game with a 35.2-inning scoreless streak.

However, he couldn't make it through one batter in the Midsummer Classic without giving up a run.

Los Angeles Angels star Mike Trout led off the game by sending a 1-2 pitch into the seats in right field. On the opposite-field shot, Greinke quickly learned that Great American Ball Park is much smaller than his home ballpark, Dodger Stadium.

Per the Cincinnati Enquirer's John Fay, Trout is the first player to hit a leadoff home run in the All-Star Game since 1989:

While Bo Jackson's home run came in the bottom of the first inning, the last player to hit a home run to lead off the game was Cincinnati Reds second baseman Joe Morgan in 1977, according to MLB.com's Mark Sheldon:

The home run not only gave the American League a 1-0 lead, but it also gave Trout an incredible feat, per Jeff Passan of Yahoo Sports:

Trout's leadoff home run was only the start of a good night at the plate for the Angels star. Trout led the American League to a 6-3 victory by going 1-for-3 with a walk and two runs scored in the game, earning him the 2015 MLB All-Star Game MVP Award. It was his second consecutive All-Star Game MVP Award, making him the first player to ever accomplish the feat.
