Ronald Acuña Jr. , Aaron Judge elected MLB All-Star starters

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuña Jr. and Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge were elected Thursday to start in the July 19 All-Star Game at Dodger Stadium.

The pair were chosen under new rules that give starting spots to the top vote-getter in each league in the first phase of online voting, which began June 8 and ended Thursday.

Others advanced to the second phase, which runs from noon on Tuesday and ends at 1 p.m. on July 8. Votes from the first phase do not carry over. Starters will be announced July 8, and pitchers and reserves on July 10.
