Reigning AL Cy Young Award winner Tarik Skubal is putting together yet another elite season for the Tigers, which is why he will be taking the mound to start in Tuesday's MLB All-Star Game at Atlanta's Truist Park.

DETROIT -- It was no surprise when Tarik Skubal was named the American League starting pitcher for Tuesday’s MLB All-Star Game in Atlanta. The Detroit Tigers ace has, after all, been the most dominant pitcher in baseball over the past two years.

Yankees ace Max Fried deferred to Tigers star Tarik Skubal, allowing him to start the MLB All-Star Game amid another Cy Young push.
