"It's incredible," Turner said about the votes he received. "I think what it did, it set a bar for the Los Angeles Dodgers and for All-Star Games for years to come. I think Kenley [Jansen] caught a little bit of heat for what he said in San Diego, but he also sparked a huge mob of voters to get out there and prove that Dodger fans are the best fans in baseball."
Entering Thursday, the 32-year-old Turner led the Majors (min. 200 AB) in batting average (.384) and on-base percentage (.473). With Turner being selected, he joins Clayton Kershaw, Cody Bellinger, Jansen and Corey Seager to give the Dodgers five All-Star representatives for the third time in 12 years.
