Harper one of three Nationals voted as NL All-Star starters

Washington Nationals star Bryce Harper will make a fourth MLB All-Star starting appearance after being voted into the National League (NL) team.

Harper was given the nod for his fifth overall appearance in the Midsummer Classic on Sunday.

The 2015 NL MVP and Silver Slugger Award winner - who was the National League's votes leader - is one of three Washington players to be named starters, joined by first baseman Ryan Zimmerman and second baseman Daniel Murphy for the game in Miami on July 11.

San Francisco Giants catcher Buster Posey is also set to start for the fifth time in his career.

The Colorado Rockies send two representatives to Marlins Park as starters - third baseman Nolan Arenado and outfielder Charlie Blackmon.

Outfielder Marcell Ozuna will represent the host Marlins in the NL starting line-up.

There is also plenty of star pitching quality, with Los Angeles Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw, Washington's Max Scherzer and Zack Greinke of the Arizona Diamondbacks.
