Brock Holt 1st All-Star to start at 7 positions before break

CINCINNATI — Brock Holt brought his infield glove to the All-Star Game. And his outfield glove.

If he winds up playing first base, he'll borrow a mitt.

Of the 1,457 players who have appeared in All-Star Games, none have started at seven different positions before the break. He could be the first.

"I think people are starting to realize that having guys that can move around and play different positions and give your starters day off and keep them healthy is big," the lone All-Star from the Boston Red Sox said Monday.

Holt has started three games at first, 18 at second, six at shortstop and 12 at third.
