All-Star starting lineups are set

In a little bit of a surprise, Rays manager Joe Maddon selected Roy Halladay as the All-Star Game starter for the AL on Tuesday night, picking him over Zack Greinke of the Royals. "It's very difficult to actually pick that one guy," Maddon said in a news conference Monday. "There's so many qualified pitchers among the group. But based on the body of work, also, I think Doc, over the last several years has demonstrated to be possibly the best pitcher in the American League."

Charlie Manuel went with the consensus pick in the Giants' Tim Lincecum, the reigning Cy Young Award winner.
