Tatis and Adam join Machado in All-Star Spotlight for San Diego

SAN DIEGO (KYMA, KECY) - Manny Machado already had his ticket punched to Atlanta as a starter. Now, he's got some company.

Fernando Tatis Jr. and reliever Jason Adam were named to the National League All-Star team Sunday, giving San Diego three representatives in this year's Midsummer Classic.

Tatis earns his third career selection after a first half that included highlight-reel plays and timely production.

Despite a mid-season dip in power, the Padres' right fielder remains one of the most dynamic players in baseball.

Meanwhile, Jason Adam's nod comes as no surprise to anyone who's watched him work this season. The veteran righty has been lights out, boasting a 1.65 ERA in 43 appearances.

He leads all NL relievers with six wins and ranks among the league’s most reliable bullpen arms.

Manager Mike Shildt has praised the depth of his relief corps all year, even suggesting multiple All-Stars were worthy.

For now, Adam gets the recognition but the bullpen as a whole has been a huge reason for the team's resilience.
