On the disabled list since June 9th with a quad strain, Holliday is seeking his first fan-elected starting assignment in the Midsummer Classic.
Miami’s Giancarlo Stanton has moved ahead of Holliday into second place and San Francisco’s Nori Aoki is less than 400,000 votes behind in fourth place.
San Francisco’s Buster Posey has extended his lead over Yadier Molina at catcher while Miami’s Dee Gordon has also increased the distance between himself and Kolten Wong at second base.
Overall, MLB has received a record 420 million votes this year–shattering the mark of 391 million in 2012.
