The All-Star Game is a time-honored tradition that dates back to 1933, pitting the American League against the National League in what was, for several decades, the only opportunity for fans to see interleague action before the World Series.

What’s their deal?: They’ve once again outkicked expectations, with manager Pat Murphy guiding a wild mix of youth and veterans and All-Star pitcher Freddy Peralta helming a rotation that has unleashed touted rookie Jacob Misiorowski for five starts – with the baseball world suddenly captivated by what may come next.

MLB All-Star Game is set for Tuesday night at Truist Park, home of the Atlanta Braves. We already knew that Paul Skenes of the Pittsburgh Pirates will be the starting pitcher for the National League and that reigning American League Cy Young winner Tarik Skubal of the Detroit Tigers will be his counterpart.
