Pitcher Jake Odorizzi was the lone Minnesota addition to the American League All Star team when the pitchers and reserves were announced Sunday.

The ten game winning hurler will join shortstop Jorge Polanco representing the Twins on the July 9 roster.

Most Twins players and fans expected more Twins to be named to the squad. Among those passed over was designated hitter Nelson Cruz, first baseman C.J. Cron, outfielders Eddie Rosario and Max Kepler and pitcher Jose Berrios.

Though dominating the American League Central Division, the Twins have fewer All Stars named than either the Indians or White Sox who each got three players on the team.
