Catcher Salvador Perez, shortstop Alcides Escobar and outfielders Lorenzo Cain and Alex Gordon will represent their team at the All-Star Game in Cincinnati. 

In the voting update released June 15, eight of the nine leading vote-getters were Royals, including Omar Infante, who has the lowest on-base percentage among qualified hitters.
