Pittsburgh Pirates ace Paul Skenes will start for the National League in the MLB All-Star Game for the second consecutive year, according to a report posted at mlb.com.

Detroit’s Tarik Skubal will get the start for the American League against Skenes Tuesday in Atlanta. It’s the second straight year that Skubal will pitch for the junior circuit in the All-Star Game, having tossed a spotless second inning in Arlington, Texas a year ago.
