Chicago Cubs closer Wade Davis has been named to the 2017 MLB All-Star Game in Miami. The right-handed reliever is the lone Cubs representative at the mid-summer classic as of now.
Davis has been dominant for the Cubs, nailing down all 16 of his save opportunities. In 28 innings, Davis has only surrendered a .170 batting average, putting up a 1.93 ERA and 0.96 WHIP. He started the season by making 18 straight scoreless appearances out of the bullpen.
No Cubs position players were voted in as starters after having five elected in 2016, when the entire infield started in the All-Star Game. No outrage for Cubs fans, as really only Kris Bryant had a case to be a reserve, but the more rest the better. Here are the starters for the National League team.
Here are the American League starters.
Also, another reminder that the winning league MLB All-Star Game no longer determines home-field advantage for the World Series.
