But despite his 23 homers at the break, Brown hit just four more in the 33 games leading to the All-Star Game, and was not invited. In 2013, Domonic Brown made the NL All-Star roster thanks to a red-hot stretch in which he ripped 16 homers between May 2nd and June 8th. In 2011, Howard banged another 33, with Raul Ibanez‘ 20 as the next highest. Howard would lead the team with 31 bombs in 2010, while Jayson Werth had 27.
