Todd Helton will be the starter for the National League in the All-Star Game, barring some sort of bizarre internet ballot-box stuffing.
Whether Larry Walker can hold onto the third NL outfield spot is less clear.
Major League Baseball released results of fan balloting Tuesday, which showed Helton ahead by more than 100,000 votes at his position, and Walker battling Houston's Luis Gonzalez and Cincinnati's Ken Griffey Jr. for the third starting outfield position. Fewer than 34,000 votes separate the threesome.
Colorado never has had two starters in the midsummer classic.
