KANSAS CITY, Mo. (CBS4) – Rockies star Carlos Gonzalez is finally getting his time in the sun during the All-Star Break.

In his first time in the All-Star Game, Gonzalez got to bat in the Home Run Derby on Monday night in Kansas City.

He’s also leading off as the DH for the National League Tuesday night, followed by San Francisco center fielder Melky Cabrera, Milwaukee left fielder Ryan Braun, Cincinnati first baseman Joey Votto, St. Louis right fielder Carlos Beltran, Posey, Giants third baseman Pedro Sandoval, Atlanta second baseman Dan Uggla and St. Louis shortstop Rafael Furcal.

Cargo couldn’t find his groove on Monday night in the Derby, which was won by Prince Fielder of the Detroit Tigers. He did manage to get four homers, which is better than Robinson Cano of the New York Yankees, who got zero.
