Detroit Tigers Ace to Join Three Detroit Tigers Starters in All-Star Game

The Detroit Tigers could have a fourth starter in the All-Star Game after Sunday’s reserves and pitchers were selected.

Major League Baseball released the final rosters, and as many expected, left-handed starting pitcher Tarik Skubal made the team.

He joins three Tigers starters for the game, which will be played on July 15 in Atlanta — second baseman Gleyber Torres, along with outfielders Riley Greene and Javier Báez.

Skubal could be the starter for the American League. He started on Sunday against Cleveland, and he took a no-decision. He was 10-2 with a 2.02 ERA in 18 starts, with 148 strikeouts and 14 walks in 116 innings. He is undefeated in his last 16 starts (10-0).

Báez made the All-Star Game in 2018 and 2019 with the Chicago Cubs. He started both times — as a second baseman in 2018 and as a shortstop in 2019. This will be his third start in an All-Star Game at a different position.
