DETROIT -- Detroit Tigers ace Tarik Skubal will be the American League’s starting pitcher in Tuesday’s MLB All-Star Game. Skubal will become the first Tigers pitcher to start the Midsummer Classic since Max Scherzer in 2013. Justin Verlander also started for the AL in 2012.

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

Before Friday's 12-3 loss to the Seattle Mariners, it had been a long time since Tarik Skubal had a bad game for the Detroit Tigers.
