    No, Ian Kinsler was not trying to let the National League's Chipper Jones get a hit in the third baseman's final All-Star Game.Jones, 40, hit a pinch-hit, slow-rolling grounder in the sixth inning between first and second, and Kinsler was not able to scoot to his left quickly enough to grab it as the ball rolled just past his glove and into right field.Naturally, Kinsler was asked if he could have made a better play on the ball."I wish I could have," Kinsler said. "Both my hamstrings felt like they were going to explode and that I had lead in my feet. It worked out that it was Chipper Jones hitting it. Said and done it was pretty cool, but I would never just let a guy have a hit."
