Red Sox strengthen showing on AL ballot

We're approaching the final two weeks of voting in the 2016 Esurance MLB All-Star Game Ballot, and four American League outfielders are separated by fewer than 200,000 votes for the third and final starting spot in the 87th All-Star Game presented by MasterCard on July 12 in San Diego.

The question may be: Can anyone slow Mookie Betts?

Mike Trout of the Angels, Jackie Bradley Jr. of the Red Sox and Lorenzo Cain of the Royals currently hold the starting outfield spots, in that order, in the latest AL voting update released on Tuesday by Major League Baseball, but one of the biggest stories in the voting right now is probably Betts -- the cover player for MLB.
