Turner won the “Final Vote” contest for the last spot on the National League All-Star roster, Major League Baseball announced Thursday. Mike Moustakas of the Kansas City Royals won the American League vote, making it a sweep for Southern California natives: Turner played at Lakewood Mayfair High, Moustakas at Chatsworth High. Turner joins Jansen, pitcher Clayton Kershaw and infielders Cody Bellinger and Corey Seager on the team. Turner’s emotions were bittersweet on Sunday as he learned that Bellinger and Seager had made the All-Star team. Turner, 32, said he would not be disappointed to make his first All-Star team by winning the five-man vote-off.
