BOSTON--Major League Baseball announced their first round of results in All-Star balloting, and no Sox player is in the lead at any position.

The closest is DH David Ortiz, who is a little over 28,000 votes behind Michael Young of Texas at DH. Adrian Gonzalez is around 140,000 votes behind Mark Teixeira of the Yankees at first base, Dustin Pedroia is almost 600,000 votes behind Robinson Cano at second, Kevin Youkilis is more than 450,000 votes behind Alex Rodriguez at third, and Jacoby Ellsbury is more than 250,000 votes behind Josh Hamilton of Texas in the balloting for outfield, with Hamilton ranked third behind Jose Bautista and Curtis Granderson.

Six Yankees lead at their respective positions, including shortstop Derek Jeter.
