Kris Bryant, Cubs make their All-Star push

Kris Bryant's 2015 has already been a whirlwind; why not include an All-Star nod in there as well?

Bryant missed the first couple weeks of the season while biding his time down in Triple-A, but the Cubs rookie sensation is still second among vote-getters for National League third basemen with 583,583 votes, Major League Baseball released Wednesday in the first All-Star voting update. St. Louis Cardinals sparkplug Matt Carpenter is first with 1,113,060 votes.

The day after Bryant crushed a home run off the image of his face high atop the left-field video board, the 23-year-old rookie seemed in awe that fans had voted for him that many times.
