Cespedes finishes third in Final Vote
MINNEAPOLIS -- Left fielder Yoenis Cespedes won't be joining four of his teammates at the 2015 All-Star Game presented by T-Mobile after finishing third in the Esurance Final Vote behind Kansas City's Mike Moustakas and Minnesota's Brian Dozier.
Despite that, he put on a show in Friday's 8-6 loss to the Twins, belting his 13th home run of the season in the fourth inning.
With the Tigers on the road, Cespedes didn't benefit from in-park promotions, but the Tigers launched a big social media campaign in an effort to get him to Cincinnati.
