LOS ANGELES — It’s official. Mookie Betts and Trea Turner of the Dodgers and Mike Trout and Shohei Ohtani of the Angels are headed to this year’s MLB All-Star Game at Dodger Stadium as starters.
Trout received 39% in the second phase of fan voting among the four American League outfielders in the running for two starting spots. Betts secured his spot by earning 36% of votes among four National League outfielders. Ohtani pulled ahead of Yordan Álvarez in the race for the starting AL designated hitter through this week. Turner similarly edged Dansby Swanson to get the start at shortstop for the NL in the last few days. MLB announced the starters Friday. The game will be played July 19.
This marks Trout’s 10th All-Star nod, Betts’ sixth and Ohtani’s and Turner’s second.
