MLB report: Mike Trout to start 11th All-Star Game

Mike Trout will see a bunch of new faces surrounding him at this year’s All-Star Game.

The Los Angeles Angels centerfielder was selected for his 11th appearance on Thursday, and four Texas Rangers were chosen by fans for the AL’s lineup for the July 11 game at Seattle’s T-Mobile Park.

Nine first-time starters were picked by fans, including three Rangers: catcher Jonah Heim, shortstop Corey Seager and rookie third baseman Josh Jung. Arizona rookie outfielder Corbin Carroll, who’s from Seattle, also was voted in, giving the starting lineups a pair of rookie position players for the third time after 1962 and 2008.

“You always put it in your mind that I want to do that someday,” Jung said.
