The plan was for Adam Dunn to enter Tuesday night's All-Star Game in the fifth inning as the American League's designated hitter. However, Dunn never appeared as he gave up his at-bats to Billy Butler, who was playing in front of hometown fans in Kansas City. "My whole thing was to rest for the second half," Dunn said. "I wanted to make sure Billy got his at-bats for the crowd. So we talked about it. I did what I wanted to do pretty much. ... It worked out perfect."
