MLB All-Star Game 2015 Voting: Salvador Perez, Lorenzo Cain Top 2nd AL Results

Timothy RappJun 1, 2015

Kansas City Royals fans certainly have been voting in droves for their favorite players for this year's MLB All-Star Game, as Salvador Perez and Lorenzo Cain are currently the leading vote-getters in the American League, and four Royals in total lead their respective positions. 

MLB Communications on Twitter posted the results:

Along with Perez, Cain, Mike Moustakas and Alcides Escobar leading at their positions, Eric Hosmer is within striking distance of Miguel Cabrera at first base, Omar Infante is in second place at second base behind Jose Altuve, Kendrys Morales is in second place at designated hitter and Alex Gordon and Alex Rios are both top-five vote-getters in the outfield. 

It isn't surprising that the team has so many contenders to be voted into the game. As of publication, the defending American League champions were 29-19 and had the fourth-best winning percentage (.604) in baseball. 

Perez and Cain, meanwhile, have been very good this season. Perez is hitting .281 with six home runs and 25 RBI, while Cain is hitting .297 with three home runs, 20 RBI, 35 runs scored and nine stolen bases. 

As a whole, however, the Royals look like one of the most balanced teams in baseball and continue to win behind a strong starting pitching staff, an excellent bullpen, great fielding and timely hitting. It would be pretty surprising if they weren't well-represented at this year's All-Star Game. 

And given the voting to this point, it looks as though Kansas City will indeed be raiding the Great American Ball Park in Cincinnati, Ohio.
