What happened: The Houston Astros urged fans to cast All-Star ballots under the #VoteStros banner ahead of a 6:15 p.m. first pitch at home with the roof closed. The broadcast is set for FOX Sports, with radio on SportsTalk 790 and 740 AM and a Spanish call on 102.9 HD2.

Why it matters: All-Star balloting is a recurring drumbeat for the club, which has leaned on its fan base to push the same voting effort in recent days. Strong turnout shapes how many Houston regulars land in the Midsummer Classic.

What to watch: Watch whether the voting drive lifts any Astros into starting or reserve roles when All-Star results are announced, and how the closed-roof matchup plays out.
