Xander Bogaerts, Rafael Devers To Represent Red Sox In All-Star Game

The Boston Red Sox will have a pair of infielders represent them in this year’s Major League Baseball All-Star Game.

To the surprise of no one, shortstop Xander Bogaerts and third baseman Rafael Devers were selected by the fans to the Midsummer Classic.

Bogaerts beat out Toronto Blue Jays’ Bo Bichette and Houston Astros’ Carlos Correa to earn the honors, while Devers topped Houston Astros’ Alex Bregman and Chicago White Sox’s Yoan Moncado. This is Devers’ first All-Star selection, while Bogaerts gets set for his third appearance.

J.D. Martinez was bested by Los Angeles Angels star Shohei Ohtani at designated hitter.

The Red Sox duo led the way in voting during the time it was open.
