Skenes earned the starting role for the National League in the All-Star Game on July 15 at Truist Park, home of the Atlanta Braves. He will go up against Detroit Tigers left-hande

Pittsburgh's Paul Skenes will start his second consecutive All-Star Game for the National League on Tuesday night.

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.
