Upton to represent Padres in All-Star Game
6/27/15: Justin Upton clubs a two-run home run just over the wall in right field as the Padres retake the lead in the 5thPITTSBURGH -- Aside from playing in the actual game itself, one of the best parts about getting selected to play in the All-Star Game might be sharing the news with family.
To that end, Padres outfielder Justin Upton batted .500 on Monday when he got the word that he'll be the team's lone representative in the All-Star Game on July 14 in Cincinnati.
Upton was able to reach his wife, Ashley, by phone. But when Upton attempted to phone his parents, Manny and Yvonne Upton, he struck out swinging.
