per the STrib:
Glen Perkins, his manager said Monday, “has quite a streak going.”
Paul Molitor was talking about saves, 27 in a row that Perkins has converted. But the Twins closer now owns another impressive streak: For the third straight season, he’s headed to the All-Star Game. He will pitch for the American League next Tuesday in Cincinnati.
Perkins was the lone Twins representative chosen by AL manager Ned Yost, the first time since 2012 that only one Twins player was selected, even though they have a winning record. But there could be a second: Brian Dozier is on the “Final Five” ballot, in which fans will choose the final All-Star in an online vote from among five candidates.
“The all-around season he’s had, it’s been remarkable,” Molitor said of Dozier, who leads the AL with 45 extra-base hits. “No matter what you ask of him, whether it’s leading off, moving down in the order, he’s always been willing to do whatever is best for the team.”
