CHICAGO -- The Cubs made All-Star history by becoming just the second team ever to have its entire infield start an All-Star Game.Anthony Rizzo (first base), Ben Zobrist (second base), Addison Russell (shortstop) and Kris Bryant (third base) were elected to start next Tuesdays game in San Diego for the National League, becoming just the second foursome to accomplish that feat and first since the 1963 St. Louis Cardinals.Organizationally, it speaks to whats been done here the last several years, Cubs manager Joe Maddon said. I take zero credit for that. Its great scouting and development on the part of the Cubs.Maddon vowed to be watching the game as the four infielders will be joined in San Diego by outfielder Dexter Fowler, provided hes healthy enough, as hes on the disabled list with a hamstring injury. Also going from the Cubs are pitchers Jake Arrieta and Jon Lester. Lester was picked by NL manager Terry Collins, while Arrieta was chosen by his peers and is a candidate to start the game.Ive been through a lot, Arrieta, a first-time All-Star, said. A lot of hard work started to pay off and my career has started to move in a positive direction over the past couple years. Its a byproduct of the hard work.While Rizzo was the overall votes leader in the NL, it is Bryant who leads the National League with 25 home runs, while Russell has 11 after hitting three over his past two games.Its an honor, and to have a lot of my teammates there with me will make it even more fun, Bryant said. Just having your teammates and friends there will make it more special. The nerves probably wont be there as much as last year. You just look around and its a normal game.Zobrist had the narrowest margin of selection among the Cubs players, garnering only 88 more votes than runner-up?Daniel Murphy of the Nationals, who still made the All-Star roster.The Cubs shot out to the best record in baseball, going 25-6 before their pace slowed recently. In many years, it has been a struggle to find one All-Star-worthy player from the much-maligned organization, but since team president Theo Epstein came aboard in 2011, the Cubs have rebuilt their farm system and are reaping the rewards. On Monday, they were the first team this season to start nine players who were 26 years old or younger.The start to the season is the reason fans have noticed [us], but I think the assembly of players we have in here is an All-Star-caliber assembly, said Zobrist, now a two-time All-Star.While the Cubs dominate the NL roster, the Boston Red Sox placed an AL-best six players on the team, the most they have sent to an All-Star Game since also sending six to the 2011 game.Bostons delegation represents a cross-section of young and old, perennial All-Stars and surprising selections.Shortstop Xander Bogaerts and outfielders Jackie Bradley Jr. and Mookie Betts -- all of whom were voted by fans to start in their first All-Star appearances -- are among the best young players in the game. David Ortiz, the 40-year-old designated hitter who leads the majors in OPS and plans to retire at seasons end, will start in his 10th All-Star Game.Pitching has been the Red Soxs biggest deficiency, yet knuckleballer Steven Wright (2.42 ERA in 16 starts) was selected by AL manager Ned Yost and closer Craig Kimbrel (2.53 ERA, 17 saves) was chosen in player balloting. Wright is an unlikely All-Star, having secured a spot in the starting rotation only after lefty Eduardo Rodriguez injured his knee in spring training. Kimbrel has been an All-Star in five of his six full big league seasons.The reigning World Series champion Kansas City Royals had four players selected to the team, led by catcher Salvador Perez, who was the ALs top vote-getter. He will be joined by teammates Eric Hosmer (first base) and relievers Wade Davis and Kelvin Herrera.While the NL infield is making history by all being from one team, the AL infield (and catcher Perez) is making its own mark in the All-Star Game record book.The ALs infield of Hosmer, Jose Altuve (Astros, 2B), Manny Machado (Orioles, 3B) and Bogaerts, with Perez at catcher, marks the first time an All-Star team has ever selected a starting infield and catcher who are all 26 years old or younger.The Red Sox could tie the Cubs with seven total All-Stars if second baseman Dustin Pedroia wins the ALs final man vote. Pedroia will be up against Detroits Ian Kinsler, Tampa Bays Evan Longoria, Torontos Michael Saunders and Houstons George Springer for the final spot, which is voted on by fans.The National Leagues final five is a battle between San Franciscos Brandon Belt, Milwaukees Ryan Braun, Arizonas Jake Lamb, Pittsburghs Starling Marte and Colorados Trevor Story.If Belt wins the fan vote, hed be the fourth member of the Giants to make the All-Star team. Despite entering Tuesday night with a major league-best 53 wins, San Francisco has just three All-Star selections in catcher Buster Posey and pitchers Madison Bumgarner and Johnny Cueto.In an interesting quirk of the rosters, the NL team features nine starting pitchers among its 14 total hurlers, while the AL squad has just five starters among its complement of pitchers.Information from ESPNs Jesse Rogers and Scott Lauber contributed to this report.

Weve officially crossed the halfway mark of the NBL season as Round 10 is in the books. The league could stake its claim as being the most even professional competition in the world right now.Every side has now played a minimum of 14 games and won at least six. The difference from bottom to top is only a handful of games and when theyre all so evenly contested, trying to determine a winner is near on impossible.Individual performances were the toast of the round as Jerome Randle, Casper Ware and Casey Prather all put their name forward for the player of the round.Adelaide have gone from struggling to win games to now being the hottest team on the floor, winning their last five matches. Brisbane have gone the other way as they find themselves riding a three-game losing streak.So who and what stood out the most during Round 10?Coming for the KingsOld time rivals Sydney and Melbourne have a history of putting on classic contests. Their last two games again fit the bill. When big clashes arise, it calls for the key players to lift and get their side over the line.For the Kings those players this season have been Kevin Lisch and Brad Newley - for United for so long that player has been Chris Goulding. In the past two games though, the biggest player to shine under the bright lights has been Casper Ware - he has averaged 25.5 points per game across the last two, walking away with two victories against the top-of-the table Kings.Form SlumpThe Kings are loaded, no doubting that. They have firepower all over the floor and none can be more damaging than three point king, Jason Cadee.When he gets hot and is in rhythm there is little opposing teams can do to slow him down. Luckily for opponents Cadee has been more cold than hot this season.Over the past four rounds Cadee has scored a total of 59 points and the Kings have a 3-4 record during that span. For a player with the scoring ability of Cadee, averaging only 8.4 points during a seven game stretch isnt good enough.Can he regain his form and help get the Kings back into their dominnant winning ways or will his scoring slump continue?Even SpreadOnly one game was decided by over 10 points and seven of the eight teams have between six and eight wins.dddddddddddd Just to show how even this competition is, the bottom-of-the table New Zealand Breakers have a 7-9 record while the second placed Adelaide 36ers have an 8-6 record.You can lose one game and tumble down the standings or you could vault all the way up with a win over a top ranked side.The word upset no longer applies to the NBL as any given match is a complete coin toss. Youre not going to be surprised if the Breakers take down the Kings or if Cairns topple Perth on the road.Ware vs. PratherThe battle between Melbourne and Perth was electric enough, the game was decided by only three points and really could have gone either way.Casper Ware torched opposing point guard Jarrod Kenny on his way to 38 points and five assists. Usually numbers like that are enough to get your team over the line and earn you player of the game honours.Unfortunately, he was outdone by MVP front-runner; Casey Prather.Prather led the three major statistical categories, finishing with 39 points, 11 rebounds and five assists. It was the most unstoppable individual performance from any player so far this season.Little TakeoverMitch Creek made his triumphant return in front of a raucous home crowd however, it was Randle who stole the show. Not to be outdone by Casey Prather, Randle took it up to right up to David Stockton.Ending the game with 37 points at a ridiculously efficient 78.9 percent from the floor.Randles speed and agility was too much for the Breakers to handle as he got to anywhere he wanted to go on the floor. Whilst only hitting one shot from beyond the arc it couldnt have come at a better time, putting the 36ers up 11 with a little over a minute to play.The 36ers are now the inform team of the competition and have won five5 in a row.
