So far, the Major League Baseball All-Star Game has been a home run derby. The first three runs of the game have been hit off the long ball.

The first came from New York Yankees slugger Aaron Judge.

As he was rounding third, you might have noticed that he pointed to someone in the dugout. Who might you ask?

Former Detroit Tiger pitcher Justin Verlander.

Verlander, now with the Houston Astros, is not playing in the midsummer classic because he pitched on Sunday against his former team.

So, he's live streaming parts of the game from his Instagram account.

In a video that contained language not suitable for all parties, he called Judge's home run in the dugout.
