Kershaw appreciates his latest All-Star Game selection while understanding its unusual circumstances

Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw appreciates his 11th career All-Star Game selection while acknowledging this one's a little different from the rest. The three-time Cy Young Award winner has made only nine starts this season but still got selected to the National League team as a Legend Pick by MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred, under a provision in the collective bargaining agreement. “You never take for granted getting to go to an All-Star Game, regardless of the circumstances," Kershaw said Monday before the Dodgers played the Milwaukee Brewers.
