All-Star Game Lineups Announced With David Ortiz Hitting Seventh for American League SquadThe Yankees made it pretty clear that they weren't going to let David Ortiz beat them over the weekend, issuing six walks to the Red Sox designated hitter.

It's probably safe to assume that Ortiz will have a few more pitches to see Tuesday night at the All-Star Game, where Ortiz will hit seventh in a star-studded lineup with a ton of firepower.

Ortiz, who was voted in as the starting DH, will hit right behind his former teammate Adrian Beltre.

Tigers ace Justin Verlander will start on the mound for the AL opposite Giants hurler Matt Cain.
