CHICAGO -- One of five players vying for the final spot on the National League All-Star roster, Cardinals infielder Matt Carpenter fell short of securing his fourth career All-Star berth in the Camping World Final Vote.
Jesus Aguilar of the Brewers was announced as the NL's Final Vote winner with 20.2 million votes. Carpenter finished fifth in the voting, also behind San Francisco's Brandon Belt, Los Angeles' Max Muncy and Washington's Trea Turner. Unless Carpenter is added to the roster later as an injury replacement, he'll be spending the break next week with his family, instead of in Washington, D.
