National League Manager Mike Matheny from the St. Louis Cardinals chose the Cardinals top pitcher Adam Wainwright 12-4 with a 1. 83 ERA as well as 3 complete games within 19 starts. It will likely be the actual 11th All-Star where a St. Louis Cardinal pitcher started an All Star game.
Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter, the 14-time All-Star who's actively playing his last season before he retires, will lead off for the American League whose being managed by Boston's John Farrell. Mike Trout of the Los Angele's Angel's will bat second while playing left field. American Leagues third batter is Seattle's second baseman Robinson Cano followed by Detroit Tigers first baseman Miguel Cabrera, Toronto Blue Jays right fielder Jose Bautista, Baltimore Orioles designated hitter Nelson Cruz, next is another Baltimore Orioles player Adam Jones who plays center field, Oakland A's third baseman Josh Donaldson and Kansas City Royal's catcher Salvador Perez.
The National Leagues starting lineup consists of Pittsburgh Pirate's center fielder Andrew McCutchen who will be leading off for the National League, then Los Angele's Dodgers right fielder Yasiel Puig, Colorado Rockie's shortstop Troy Tulowitzki and Arizona Diamondback's first baseman Paul Goldschmidt. Miami's Giancarolo Stanto will be the DH for the National League. Next will be Milwaukee Brewer's third baseman Aramis Ramirez, then Philadelphia Phillie's second baseman Chase Utley, followed by Milwaukee Brewer's catcher Jonathan Lucroy and Milwaukee's left fielder Carlos Gomez.
The last 2 meetings between the National League and the American League have both ended in shutouts. The National League won last year's match-up 3-0 while only having 3 hits. In 2012 the American League won the match-up 8-0 while only having 6 hits. This was the first time that back to back years ended in shutouts. So the question is will the 2014 All Star game in a record breaking third year with a shutout?
With starer Adam Wainwright's 12-4 record an era 1.83 followed by the Dodgers Clayton Kershaw 11-2 with an ERA of 1.78 marks the beginning of the second time pitchers coming in with Era's under two. The last time this happened was in Minneapolis, Minnesota's All Star game in 1985 with NY Mets pitcher Dwight Gooden and the St. Louis Cardinals John Tudor.
This will mark the third All Star game to be held in Minneapolis, Minnesota with the other two games being in 1965 and 1985 with the National League winning both times. Can the National League pull off a third Victory in Minnesota?
