Yu Darvish, David Freese win vote
Major League Baseball announced Thursday Texas Rangers pitcher Yu Darvish and St. Louis Cardinals third baseman David Freese were picked for the All-Star Game in online fan voting.
Darvish beat Chicago's Jake Peavy, Baltimore's Jason Hammel, Kansas City's Jonathan Broxton and Los Angeles' Ernesto Frieri to garner the final American League spot. He also became the eighth Ranger to be named to the squad at the Midsummer Classic.
In the NL, Freese secured his spot over 19-year-old Washington rookie Bryce Harper, Atlanta's Michael Bourn and Arizona's Aaron Hill.
An integral part of a Rangers rotation which has been hit hard by injuries, Darvish has posted a 10-5 record with a 3.59 ERA in 16 starts. The right-hander has registered 117 strikeouts in 102 2/3 innings.
