Buster Posey will be in the MLB All-Star Game on Tuesday. So will Johnny Cueto. Madison Bumgarner won’t be playing in it because he’s starting Sunday for the San Francisco Giants, and thus won’t be available to pitch two days later. But don’t worry Giants people: you’ll still have three of your hometown favorites in the game, thanks to a fan vote that selected Brandon Belt as the final National League all-star.
The result of the vote was announced this afternoon, with Belt edging out Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Starling Marte and three other strong candidates.
