ATLANTA — Toronto Blue Jays slugger Vladimir Guerrero Jr. will start at first base and bat fifth for the American League in tonight’s Major League Baseball all-star game.

Toronto catcher Alejandro Kirk is also on the AL roster.
Los Angeles Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani leads off for the National League, while Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman, who represents Canada internationally, bats fourth.
