from MLB.com/www.mlb.com:
PHOENIX — Padres first baseman Wil Myers was justly rewarded for his monster performance during the first half of the season, as the 25-year-old slugger was named to his first All-Star team Tuesday night.
Myers will become the eighth player to represent the Padres in a hometown All-Star Game, joining Rollie Fingers and Dave Winfield in 1978 and five others — including Tony Gwynn and Benito Santiago — who did so in ’92.
