NEW YORK (AP) — The Major League All-Star Game will include two slugging sons of former big leaguers.
Padres outfielder Fernando Tatis (tah-TEES’) Jr. will be among the starters for the National League, while Blue Jays outfielder Vladimir Guerrero Jr. will represent the American League. They are among nine first-time All-Stars elected Thursday to start the July 13 game at Colorado’s Coors Field.
Guerrero will be joined in the AL starting lineup by Toronto teammates Marcus Semien and Teoscar (tay-AHS’-kur) Hernandez. The rest of the AL starters are Royals catcher Salvador Perez, Red Sox infielders Rafael Devers (DEH’-vurs) and Xander Bogaerts (BOH’-gahrts), Angels DH Shohei Ohtani (SHOH’-hay oh-TAH’-nee), and Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge. Angels outfielder Mike Trout was selected as a starter but won’t be available.
Reds outfielders Nick Castellanos (kas-tee-AH’-nohs) and Jesse Winker are NL starters, as are Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman and outfielder Ronald Acuna (ah-KOON’-yuh) Jr. Giants catcher Buster Posey, Pirates second baseman Adam Frazier and Cardinals third baseman Nolan Arenado (ar-eh-NAH’-doh) round out the NL lineup.
