LOS ANGELES (AP) Justin Turner and Mike Moustakas used some cross-league teamwork to book their trips to Miami.
The third basemen each earned trips to next Tuesday’s All-Star Game by way of the final fan vote, each beating out four other finalists Thursday from their respective league.
Turner, the red-headed third baseman for the Los Angeles Dodgers, led the final balloting with 20.8 million votes, and he encouraged his supporters on Twitter to also support Moustakas – a slugging third baseman with the Kansas City Royals – using the hashtag (hash)VoteMoose. Moustakas returned the favor while leading the American League with 15.
