Paul Skenes, Tarik Skubal named starters
Digest more
Paul Skenes get the nod for the second year in a row, while reigning Cy Young winner Tarik Skubal gets the ball for the AL.
Prior to Skenes, the youngest pitcher to start back-to-back All-Star Games was the Philadelphia Phillies’ Robin Roberts, who started in 1950 and ‘51 at ages 23 and 24, according to STATS Perform. And while Skenes’ record is only 4-8, that is largely a product of his average run support, which is the third worst in the majors.
