Adrian Gonzalez

In his first season with the Red Sox, Adrian Gonzalez has more than lived up to his reputation and he David Ortiz lead a contingent of four Red Sox players who have been named to the 2011 American League All-Star team. Gonzalez and Ortiz were voted in as starters in fan balloting, while Jacoby Ellsbury and Josh Beckett were selected as reserves. The vote was by players and selections made by the managers — Ron Washington and Bruce Bochy.

Gonzalez (.353/.407/,593) entered play Sunday with 16 home runs and 74 RBIs. It’s the fourth straight All-Star selection for the first baseman. Ortiz, who was voted in as a designated hitter, has had a strong comeback season for the Sox, posting lines of .302/.383/.565 to go with a team-high 17 home runs and 49 RBIs. This is his seventh All-Star appearance.

Ellsbury, who will be making his first All-Star game appearance, has also had a bounceback year after missing most of last season with injuries. He’s hitting .300 with a .361 on-base percentage and has reclaimed the leadoff spot in the Sox lineup.

Rounding out the list of Sox revivals is Beckett who entered his start on Sunday with a 6-3 record and a 2.20 ERA in 98 innings pitched. It’s the third All-Star selection for the right-hander. The game will be played on Tuesday, July 12 in Phoenix.
