Results of the Final Man Vote for the 2017 All-Star Game are revealed, with 3B Justin Turner of the Dodgers and Mike Moustakas of the Royals the winners. Turner establishes a new record with 20.8 million votes. Ironically, after fans had failed to elect any Dodgers players in the regular All-Star ballot, reliever Kenley Jansen had chastized L.A. supporters for failing to properly support the team’s players at the ballot box; it seems his message was heard.

The Giants lose a 1st-inning run when they are caught batting out of order against the Dodgers. C Buster Posey is listed as batting fourth on the official line-up, but comes up third in the inning, and drives in a run with a double. The Dodgers appeal successfully and Pablo Sandoval, who should have batted third, is called out, while the hit is wiped out; Posey hits again, now in his rightful spot, but flies out to end the inning. However, Giants starter Madison Bumgarner makes sure the mistake does not turn out to be costly, as he retires the first 14 batters he faces and drives in two runs on his way to a 4 – 2 win.
