Pujols continues to lead NL voting

NEW YORK, June 5 (UPI) -- St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Albert Pujols continued Monday to lead the National League in All-Star voting.

Pujols got more than 400,000 votes for the week, increasing his total to 1,041,466. He is the only NL player with at least a million votes, but may not be able to play in the game due to a strained right oblique muscle.
