DENVER -- Rockies shortstop Trevor Story made his case to be the last member of the National League All-Star team with two home runs in Thursday night's 11-2 win over the Phillies at Coors Field. But as of Friday's final ballot udate, he remained ranked third in the Esurance MLB All-Star Game Final Vote.
Story leads Major League shortstops with 21 home runs and is second with a .550 slugging percentage. With his second homer off Phils lefty Adam Morgan, he tied Albert Pujols and Dave Kingman's NL rookie record for home runs before the All-Star break.

"I try not to [reflect]," said Story, who hit a three-run dinger in the third and a solo homer in the fifth. "I try to stay in the moment. On an off-day, I'll look back and enjoy it, but any time we're playing, it's good to remember the good time and those feelings, but I try to just focus on each day."

Story, who led NL candidates in overall votes from texts, trails the Giants' Brandon Belt and the Pirates Starling Marte, and he leads the D-backs' Jake Lamb and Brewers' Ryan Braun.
Voting ends today at 2 p.m. MT, so fans still have time to help Story (#StoryTime) pull out a comeback win. For the fifth consecutive year, the Final Vote will include social balloting, as Twitter support for the 10 candidates over the last six hours of balloting will count toward their vote totals. From 8 a.m.-2 p.m. MT today, any tweet that includes a designated player hashtag will be tabulated as part of the official vote total used to determine the winners.
"I can only vote so much," said teammate Nolan Arenado, who was named to the All-Star Game along with Carlos Gonzalez. "I'm voting every day. Every time I've got my phone I'm thinking about voting. I'm constantly voting. I've voted over a hundred something times. I hope people out there are voting for him."

The Rockies' social media department has partnered with the Astros to make a dual ticket of Story and outfielder George Springer. Springer is second in the American League voting, trailing only Blue Jays outfielder Michael Saunders.
This is the third straight year the Rockies have had a player in the final vote following Justin Morneau in 2014 and Troy Tulowitzki in '15. They partnered with the Indians in '14 (Corey Kluber) and the Yankees in '15 (Brett Gardner), hoping to pick up extra votes in the online voting.

"When we had Trevor, we knew that we wanted to see if there was another Texas team. Texas is a nice tie," said Rockies assistant director of digital media and publications Julian Valentin. "They just do a really nice job with the social media, which is a big part of the campaign. They're active, their fan base is active, and we're happy to support them."
Baseball has a wealth of young talent at shortstop with starters Addison Russell, 22, and Xander Bogaerts, 23, in their second and third seasons, respectively. Rookies Corey Seager, 22, and Aledmys Diaz 25, are on the NL bench, and second-year player Francisco Lindor, 22, is a backup for the AL.

"Man, there's some really talented shortstops in the game right now," Rockies manager Walt Weiss said. "Talented young players overall, but especially at that position. It reminds you of back when [Nomar] Garciaparra, Miguel Tejada, A-Rod, and [Derek] Jeter were doing their thing.
"[Story] deserves to be in the game. We'll do what we can to make that happen."
The winner of each league's Final Vote will be added to the roster for the All-Star Game presented by MasterCard on Tuesday at Petco Park in San Diego. Coverage begins at 5:30 p.m. MT.
"I'm proud of it," Story said. "You grow up dreaming about maybe being an All-Star and I still have a chance. It's very humbling."
