There was good news yesterday for one member of the Colorado Rockies. Outfielder Carlos Gonzalez was named to his first National League All-Star team. Gonzalez was picked as a reserve by the player vote. The 26 year-old left fielder is batting .337 with 17 home runs and 58 RBI, leading the Rockies in all three of those Triple Crown categories. He also leads the team in slugging percentage and stolen bases, and is second in doubles. Gonzalez won’t just be appearing in the game – he’ll also be one of four National League sluggers to participate in the Home Run Derby the day before. Dodgers outfielder Matt Kemp selected Gonzalez along with Miami’s Giancarlo Stanton and St. Louis’ Carlos Beltran to take part in the event. The 83^rd Major League Baseball All-Star Game is set for July 10 at Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City.
