Rangers Offering Prizes for Tanner Scheppers All-Star Votes

Voting ends July 11 at 3 p.m.

The Texas Rangers really want pitcher Tanner Scheppers to go to the All Star game and are willing to offer up some sweet prizes to inspire voting.

Scheppers, who is 5-1 this season with a 1.88 ERA in 42 appearances this season, is one of five pitchers vying for the 34th and final spot on the American League All-Star team that will take the field July 16 at Citi Field, the home of the Mets, in New York City.

Scheppers is tied for the A.L. lead in relief wins, is tied for fourth with 17 holds, and is tied for the ninth lowest relief ERA. He is seeking his first All-Star appearance. 

Fans can vote for Scheppers in a few different ways, including on MLB.com, TexasRangers.com or by texting the word VOTE to 89269 and then responding with "A4" for Scheppers.

By voting, and selecting Scheppers, all voters will be entered into the sweepstakes where they could win one of five prizes.  There is no limit to the number of times you can vote for Scheppers, but only the first 25 votes will count toward sweepstakes entries.  (Complete rules for the sweepstakes can be found on TexasRangers.com).
