It’s time for D-backs fans to rock the vote.

The Arizona Diamondbacks are partnering with the Texas
Rangers to support two All-Star candidates in the MLB.com
Final Vote, presented by Firestone.

The Diamondbacks are looking to add another representative
in second baseman Aaron Hill, while pitcher Yu Darvish is
looking to be the eighth Ranger on the AL roster.

D-backs President and CEO Derrick Hall asked for fans “who
are voting for Aaron to also cast a vote for Yu Darvish,
and we hope the Rangers fans will do the same for Hill.”

He also requested fans of Hill’s former team, the Toronto
Blue Jays, vote for Darvish while baseball fans in Japan
select Hill.

The contest, which ends Thursday at 1 p.m., allows voters
to decide the final roster spot for both American and
National League teams for the 83rd All-Star Game on July
10 in Kansas City. Fans can head to MLB.com/vote to make their selections, or text N4 to 89269 to vote
for Hill. You can also text A2 to the same number to vote
for Darvish.
