LOS ANGELES -- Corey Seager beat the Reds with a clutch grand slam on Sunday, but Reds fans are beating Dodgers fans in voting for the National League's starting All-Star shortstop.
Cincinnati's Zack Cozart moved ahead of Seager, last week's vote leader at shortstop, in the latest Esurance MLB All-Star Game Ballot update for the 2017 MLB Al-Star Game presented by MasterCard. Cozart has 997,966 votes to Seager's 804,788 votes.
Seager's first career grand slam capped a six-run comeback victory over the Reds. Seager, an All-Star last season in his NL Rookie of the Year Award-winning campaign, has nine homers and 31 RBIs. Cozart, seeking his first All-Star berth, also has nine home runs with 33 RBIs.
