BOSTON -- With All-Star teams scheduled to be revealed Sunday, David Ortiz remains in the lead at DH in voting for the American League team.

The seven-time All-Star David Ortiz (3,128,711) has a lead of just under a half million votes over Michael Young (2,564,572). The only other Sox player in the top five at his position is second baseman Dustin Pedroia, who is far behind Robinson Cano of the Yankees and Ian Kinsler of the Rangers.

In-stadium balloting concluded last Friday. Fans still can cast their votes for starters up to 25 times (that's called sanctioned ballot-box stuffing) exclusively online at MLB.com, the 30 club web sites and their mobile devices until Thursday at 11:59 p.m. (ET). The All-Star Game MLB.com ballot is available in English, Spanish, Japanese, Korean and Chinese and offers audio CAPTCHA functionality for visually-impaired fans.
