the Reds lost 12-2<\/a> to the Miami Marlins. \u201cHe’s very deserving. His teammates were thrilled for him. On a tough night, that was the one really bright shining spot for us.\u201d<\/p>\nLater Tuesday, Tampa Bay Rays third baseman Junior Caminero was named to the AL squad as a replacement for Boston’s Alex Bregman.<\/p>\n
The 26-year-old Abbott was informed during the first inning of his first career All-Star selection, and he high-fived and hugged teammates who showered him with ice and bubble gum in the dugout.<\/p>\n
\u201cI thought I deserved it the first go-around,” Abbott said. \u201cBut there’s a lot of other deserving guys, so I get the process. Just have to wait until your name’s called. It’s just special. It means the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

Shortstop Elly De La Cruz is Cincinnati’s other All-Star.<\/p>\n
Abbott’s ERA would be the fourth best in the majors if he had pitched enough innings to qualify. A pitcher must have at least one inning pitched per games played by his team. The Reds have played 92 games and Abbott has tossed 83 2\/3 innings since making his season debut on April 12 after suffering a left shoulder strain in spring training.<\/p>\n
Caminero is batting .252 with 21 homers and 57 RBIs this season, his first as an everyday player.<\/p>\n
The 22-year-old is the third Rays infielder to be named an All-Star, joining first baseman Jonathan Aranda and second baseman Brandon Lowe.<\/p>\n
