The MLB All-Star Game 2014 matchup between the AL and NL is live on FOX on Tuesday night from Target Field in Minnesota and the baseball matchup will decide home field advantage in the World Series and starts up at 8 pm ET as players like Derek Jeter, Felix Hernandez, Mike Trout and Jose Bautista lead the American League against Andrew McCutchen and the stars of the National League.
The MLB All Star game 2014 rosters for the American League and National League are ready for the game and the some of the starters and reserves in the NL and AL include Robinson Cano, Derek Jeter, Miguel Cabrera, Jose Bautista, Mike Trout, Yasiel Puig, Hanley Ramirez, Troy Tulowitzki, Josh Donaldson and Nelson Cruz, while Felix Hernandez, Masahiro Tanaka, Clayton Kershaw, Zack Greinke, Johnny Cueto and Max Scherzer are among the pitchers in the game at Target Field next week.
Jose Bautista had the highest total in the American League from fan voting and he leads a very talented roster for the AL, including names like Miguel Cabrera and Mike Trout. The Orioles are the top team with players in the All-Star game, as they have three starters with Nelson Cruz, Adam Jones and Matt Wieters, but Wieters is out for the season and will not be playing in Minnesota. Cabrera was the runaway winner for the first base slot, while Robinson Cano earned his fifth straight appearance at second base and his first as a Mariner. Cano has not been hitting home runs like usual, but he is one of the league leaders in batting and has helped the Mariners stay in playoff contention halfway through the season.
Nelson Cruz is into the game following his 50-game suspension last year and he joins Jones and Trout as the outfield starters. Josh Donaldson won out at third base for the A's, while Derek Jeter was the ceremonial winner at shortstop because his numbers are nowhere near All-Star worthy. Donaldson made it into his first All-Star game, while Jeter will be playing his last game in July 15 at Target Field.
Tulowitzki had the most votes in the National League and he leads the infield with Chase Utley at second base and Paul Goldschmidt at first base. Yadier Molina is the starting catcher, while Aramis Ramirez is the representative for third base from the Brewers. The NL had eight voting spots for the fans and Carlos Gomez, Andrew McCutchen and Yasiel Puig are the outfielders, while some of the pitchers include Zack Greinke, Clayton Kershaw, Julio Teheran and Adam Wainwright were among the pitchers.
