Aguilar's vote total of 20,229,498 is the second highest in the Final Vote, which has been used since 2002 to determine who gets the last Midsummer Classic roster spot in each league. Aguilar is only the second player to exceed the 20 million-vote mark, along with the Dodgers' Justin Turner, who won last season's NL Final Vote with 20,819,242 votes.
"It's going to be my dream come true," Aguilar said. "It was a lot of stuff; it was three busy days. But we're here. We made it. I just have to say thank you. I really appreciate it. It means a lot. That's why you work so hard. … I can't believe it yet. From no spot in Spring Training to the All-Star Game, it's a big step.
"I never thought this thing was going to happen to me. I just kept working … and I'm an All-Star guy right now. It's unbelievable. I can't believe it yet."

The 28-year-old slugger has emerged as a force for the NL Central-leading Brewers this season. Aguilar is tied for the NL lead in home runs with 23 home runs entering play Wednesday, along with fellow All-Star Nolan Arenado of the Rockies. Aguilar is batting .302 with an NL-leading .631 slugging percentage and 1.000 OPS.
The Brewers launched a "We Believe in Jesus" social media campaign to help send Aguilar to his first career All-Star Game. He's the third Brewers player to make the Midsummer Classic by winning the Final Vote, along with Geoff Jenkins (2003) and Corey Hart (2008).

"We're all thrilled. He's incredibly deserving," Brewers manager Craig Counsell said. "I'm incredibly proud of the fans of the Brewers -- in Wisconsin and all over the country -- that did a crazy great job of getting this done again. This is multiple times now they've gotten it done. For 'Agui,' the front-office crew, the players, everybody made a huge effort for a really deserving guy."
Segura was the Mariners' first Final Vote candidate, and now he's their first winner. Until this year, Seattle had been the only Major League franchise to not have had a Final Vote nominee. But Segura's teammates and Mariners fans' "Send Segura" efforts paid off.

"To be honest, it surprised me," Segura said of the groundswell of support he'd been getting. "I feel really good. I feel proud the way my teammates have supported me along with the fans in Seattle, the media, the organization. It's really good support."
In his second season in Seattle, the 28-year-old is having an excellent all-around season for the Mariners, who are currently in line for the second AL Wild Card slot. Segura is hitting .329 with seven home runs and 14 stolen bases for Seattle. He's been an All-Star once before, back in 2013, when he was still with the Brewers.
With their wins in this year's Final Vote, Aguilar and Segura will both join several of their teammates in the All-Star Game. Aguilar joins Brewers teammates Lorenzo Cain, Christian Yelich and Josh Hader on the NL squad, while Segura joins the fellow Mariners Nelson Cruz, Edwin Díaz and Mitch Haniger in the AL.
