NEW YORK (Sports Network) - Rangers outfielder Josh Hamilton continues to hold the overall lead in All-Star voting for the American League and is one of four Texas players who top the balloting at their position.
Hamilton had 3,833,504 votes in the second update from Major League Baseball released Monday.
He led all players in both leagues in the first update last week. New numbers for the National League will be released Tuesday.

The All-Star Game will be played July 10 at Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City.
