SAN DIEGO (AP) — Petco Park in San Diego hosts the 87th All-Star Game tonight, with White Sox ace Chris Sale (14-3) starting for the American League against Giants righty Johnny Cueto (13-1). The AL has won three in a row, but the National League leads 43-41 overall with two ties. Anthony Rizzo and a lot of Cubs take on David Ortiz and a bunch of Red Sox, and the league that wins gets home-field advantage in the World Series.

Tonight’s starting lineup for manager Ned Yost will include a pair of Royals — first baseman Eric Hosmer and catcher Salvador Perez. Pitchers Kelvin Herrera and Wade Davis also made the squad, although Davis is inactive for the game. From St. Louis, Matt Carpenter and Aledmys Diz are on the National League squad with Carpenter inactive.
