NEW YORK (AP) — Alan Porter will be the umpire crew chief and call balls and strikes for Tuesday night’s All-Star Game at Philadelphia’s Citizens Bank Park.

Porter will be joined by Chris Conroy at first, Chad Whitson at second, Ryan Additon at third, Adam Beck in left and Edwin Moscoso in right.

Vic Carapazza will be the video review umpire in New York.
