Triple-A Baseball and MLB Advanced Media, LP (MLBAM) announced today that online All-Star voting is now underway for the 26th annual Triple-A All-Star Game in Reno, Nevada.

This year's contest will take place at Aces Ballpark in Reno, Nevada, home of the Pacific Coast League's Reno Aces, on Wednesday, July 17 at 6:05 p.m. PST.
Fan balloting will help determine the starting lineups for both All-Star teams, accounting for one-third of the total vote along with ballots cast by members of the media and each club's field manager, coaches, and general manager. All eligible voters will receive a five-day free preview of MiLB.TV after they cast their ballots online at the official websites of Minor League Baseball'ïÿýïÿý (MiLB.com), the Pacific Coast League (PCLBaseball.com), the International League (ILBaseball.com), and the websites of all 30 Triple-A teams.
