PHILADELPHIA — Major League Baseball on Thursday announced that Braves outfielder Ronald Acuña finished as the top vote-getter for the National League in the first phase of voting for the July 19 All-Star Game. This means Acuña will have a starting spot for the NL team, managed by Brian Snitker.
Acuña is headed to Dodger Stadium, but some of his teammates could join him.
The Braves have multiple finalists for the second phase of voting, which will be used to determine the rest of the NL’s starters. The top two vote-getters at each position, including designated hitter — and the top four in the outfield — made it to the second voting phase, which begins on Tuesday.
