- MLB All-Star Game starting lineups: Skenes and Skubal pitch, batting order</p>

<p>ATLANTA — Managers Dave Roberts and Aaron Boone announced their starting lineups a day before the 2025 Major League Baseball All-Star Game, with Tigers lefty Tarik Skubal and Pirates ace Paul Skenes taking the mound at Truist Park.</p>
<p>Roberts (National League) and Boone (American) had revealed the starting pitchers on Saturday, July 12, ending any speculation as to who might get the ball three days before the game.</p>
<p>"It's such a huge honor to be on the stage and play with all these unbelievable players," Skenes said, "some of them that I've watched for years."</p>
<p>It's the second All-Star start in a row for Skenes, who was picked to open in 2024 despite having just 11 MLB starts under his belt. Skenes has an NL-best 2.01 ERA in 20 starts this season and has surrendered just six home runs, but has a 4-8 record for the last-place Pirates.</p>
<p>"Excited to go oat it with these guys tomorrow night, and obviously be able to give the ball to Tarik Skubal," Boone said. "Coming off a Cy Young season, and continuing that dominance in the first half of the season ... Can't wait to see him go get us off to a good start tomorrow."</p>
<p>Skubal, the 2024 AL Cy Young winner, has been even better this year. The 28-year-old is 10-2 with 2.23 ERA, and and leads the AL in strikeouts per nine (11.4), WHIP (0.826) and strikeouts per walk (9.6) – all up from last year's historic campaign.</p>
