DETROIT, July 14, 2025 ~ After last year’s snub, Detroit Tigers’ starting pitcher Tarik Skubal has been named the starter for the American League at the 2025 MLB All-Star Game.

Skubal, now a two-time All-Star and Cy Young winner, will open the marquee exhibition for the first time in his professional career. In 2025, he has posted a 10-3 record with 153 strikeouts and a 2.23 earned run average.

SOCIAL MEDIA:

(CONTINUED) Detroit is also sending five other All-Stars to Atlanta, including three other starters next to Skubal. It’s the first time since 2015 that Detroit is sending at least four players to the All-Star Game. Bat boy Frankie Boyd was also picked to represent the Tigers. 

First pitch for the Midsummer Classic is set for 8 p.m. at Truist Park on Fox.
