Six Tigers make 2013 American League All-Star roster

Not since 1985, the year after the Tigers' last World Series championship, had Detroit put six players in the All-Star Game. They matched that total on Saturday, and if reliever Joaquin Benoit can draw enough votes in the 2013 All-Star Game Final Vote, they'll have the most All-Stars in team history.

Miguel Cabrera followed up his Triple Crown season with over eight million votes -- more than every All-Star but Chris Davis of the Orioles -- to be voted into the starting lineup. First baseman Prince Fielder, outfielder Torii Hunter and shortstop Jhonny Peralta made the team as reserves, while Max Scherzer was one of five starters selected by his peers. Justin Verlander was added by Jim Leyland, who will manage the American League squad.

Benoit was named as one of five candidates for the Final Vote, in which fans are able to select the final player on each league's All-Star roster. The balloting runs until Thursday at 4 p.m. ET.
