Ryan Braun in LF, batting 3rd in All-Star Game

Kansas City -- The Brewers' Ryan Braun will play his natural position of left field and also bat in his regular No. 3 spot for the National League in the All-Star Game Tuesday night at Kauffman Stadium.

Braun moved into the starting outfield after Los Angeles' Matt Kemp pulled out with a hamstring injury. It will be his fifth consecutive all-star start.

San Francisco's Melky Cabrera, who has played more left field than center, will make the start in center, with St. Louis' Carlos Beltran in right field.
