LOS ANGELES -- It is Friday evening, less than 100 hours before the 2015 MLB All-Star Game, and Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw still is on the outside looking in for a trip to Cincinnati. The latest blow to Kershaw's All-Star candidacy came Friday, coming in third place in the National League Final Vote.
Cardinals starter Carlos Martinez won the Final Vote with 14.1 million votes, and is the 34th player in the NL roster. Johnny Cueto of the Reds was second place, with Kershaw third, Troy Tulowitzki fourth and Jeurys Familia fifth.
