Inge second in early Final Vote results

The first round of daily All-Star Final Vote results is in, and Brandon Inge is a close second behind Texas' Ian Kinsler in the AL balloting. Considering the Rangers were on national television Sunday night with their ESPN game against the Rays, that isn't too bad.

The Tigers are making a big push to drum up support at Comerica Park during the upcoming series against the Royals. For fans who come to the games, they have a table set up on the concourse. Vote there, and you'll get an Inge poster. Anyone who votes Inge on tigers.com is also automatically entered in a drawing for an autographed Inge bat.

As a reminder, you can vote as many times as you like at MLB.com and tigers.com. If you have a phone on the Sprint, Nextel or Boost networks, you can also vote that way.
