Paul Skenes dominated in the first inning at the MLB All-Star Game — and had his own personal cheering section to boot. 

The Pirates right-hander twirled a scoreless first inning, working around a walk to Juan Soto, against the superstar-filled American League lineup on Tuesday night in the National League’s eventual 5-3 loss at Globe Life Field. 

After getting the Guardians’ Steven Kwan and the Orioles’ Gunnar Henderson out with relative ease, Skenes issued a free pass to Soto after the count went full. 



That set up a showdown with 2022 AL MVP Aaron Judge, who rolled over on 99.7...

There was plenty of excitement heading into the 2024 MLB All-Star Game in Arlington, Texas. After calls from fans and media members, National League manager Torey Lovullo delivered, naming Pittsburgh Pirates rookie Paul Skenes the starting pitcher. Skenes has been on fire since being called up by the Pirates on May 11. Having one of the most-hyped pitching prospects in baseball make the start in the All-Star Game as a rookie? That was enough to tune in.

Paul Skenes has a bright future ahead of him in MLB. The 21-year-old right-handed pitcher was chosen by the Pittsburgh Pirates as the top pick in last year’s draft, and he’s quickly lived up to all the hype he built up around himself in his college days at Air Force and LSU.

The pitching phenom made his MLB debut against the Chicago Cubs earlier this year, and since then he's been registering triple digits on the radar gun consistently while racking up a 6-0 record as a starter in 11 games, with a 1.90 ERA and...

It was just back in 2022 that MLB fans started rooting for a tie in the All-Star Game, something unthinkable from that time the Midsummer Classic actually ended in a tie and everyone got made.
But there’s a good reason why: there’s an awesome way to decide the winner should the game be tied through nine innings: IT’S A HOME RUN DERBY WOOOOOO!
Per USA TODAY Sports’ Bob Nightengale in 2023: Each team would choose three players. Each of them gets three swings. The winner of the All-Star Game would be whatever team has the most home runs.
So, yeah. Let’s go ties!

Remember, if this All-Star Game remains tied after 9 innings, the game will be decided by a Home Run Derby.Each team selects three players, and each batters gets three swings.The team with the highest homer total will be declared winner of the game.
