Tulo coasts, as NL ballot sees upheaval elsewhere

Rockies shortstop Troy Tulowitzki hasn't lost his standing atop the National League ballot, but a few other All-Star races are heating up based on the latest vote totals released by Major League Baseball on Sunday.

Arizona's Paul Goldschmidt has claimed the top spot in the first-base voting from Los Angeles' Adrian Gonzalez, while Pirates center fielder Andrew McCutchen shot from fourth to second place among NL outfielders as of Sunday's ballot update.

Goldschmidt trailed Gonzalez by more than 100,000 votes last week, but he has since taken the lead with 1,291,052 votes to Gonzalez's 1,049,222. McCutchen, meanwhile, continued the shakeup atop the outfield standings, as he soared past Brewers center fielder Carlos Gomez and Marlins slugger Giancarlo Stanton with 1,727,534 votes.

The other position leaders remain the same. Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina (2,003,557) maintains a sizable lead over the Giants' Buster Posey. Pirates second baseman Neil Walker overtook the Dodgers' Dee Gordon for second place, but both remain far behind the Phillies' Chase Utley (1,678,843).

The shortstop standings stayed unchanged, with Tulowitzki maintaining his post as the NL's leading vote-getter, with 2,593,387 -- well ahead of San Francisco's Brandon Crawford (899,641). Mets third baseman David Wright (1,051,640) claimed a lead last week and padded that margin this week, with the Giants' Pablo Sandoval taking over second place ahead of Rockies star Nolan Arenado.

Dodgers sensation Yasiel Puig, meanwhile, remains atop the NL outfield voting with 1,942,701 votes. Stanton (1,659,430) sits in third, with a pair of Brewers -- Gomez (1,628,401) and Ryan Braun (1,388,578) -- close behind him int fourth and fifth, respectively. Rockies outfielder Charlie Blackmon isn't far behind Braun, and he's nearly 300,000 votes ahead of Giants center fielder Angel Pagan.
