Pittsburgh Pirates Pitcher Paul Skenes will face some great batters from the American League in the All-Star game.
PITTSBURGH -- Pittsburgh Pirates right-handed pitcher Paul Skenes will start for the National League and will face some great opposing hitters from the American League.
If Skenes fails to retire the first three batters, he'll Yankees centerfielder Aaron Judge is the cleanup hitter at No. 4, who leads the MLB with 34 home runs and 85 RBIs, and potentially Houston Astros designated hitter Yordan Alvarez at No. 5 and Guardians third baseman Jose Ramirez. Since it's the All-Star game, Skenes will likely just pitch the first inning and then come out afterwards, as teams like to give everyone a chance to play. He only has to face those first three batters, but a matchup against Judge is one that most MLB fans would love to see.
