CHICAGO (AP) - Texas Rangers pitcher Yu Darvish and St. Louis
Cardinals third baseman David Freese are headed to the All-Star
game after fans voted them into Tuesday's showcase in Kansas City.

Darvish, 10-5 with a 3.59 ERA, is the eighth Rangers player on the AL team managed by Texas' Ron Washington. He beat out four other pitchers: Chicago's Jake Peavy, Baltimore's Jason Hammel, Kansas City's Jonathan Broxton and the Angels' Ernesto Frieri.

Freese emerged from an NL field that included Atlanta outfielder
Michael Bourn, Nationals rookie outfielder Bryce Harper and Arizona
second baseman Aaron Hill. Freese is batting .285 with 13 homers.

Atlanta's Chipper Jones had been in the running before he was named as an injury replacement for Matt Kemp.

The online balloting for the final spots ended Thursday.
