The starting pitchers in Tuesday's All-Star Game found different paths to becoming old-school aces for the Tigers and Pirates.

Chris Castellani joins the "Days of Roar" podcast, sharing the experience of witnessing Tarik Skubal's dominant June 29 performance against the Twins.

Detroit Tigers ace Tarik Skubal has been named the American League starter for the 2025 Major League Baseball All-Star Game.

Prior to Skenes, the youngest pitcher to start back-to-back All-Star Games was the Philadelphia Phillies’ Robin Roberts, who started in 1950 and ‘51 at ages 23 and 24, according to STATS Perform. And while Skenes’ record is only 4-8, that is largely a product of his average run support, which is the third worst in the majors.

And according to MLB analyst Jayson Stark, he believes that Skubal could very much be on his way to adding Cy Young Award number two in his trophy case, listing Skubal as the AL recipient in his midseason awards.

DETROIT — Tarik Skubal felt like he gave up a lot more than four runs. The reigning American League Cy Young winner and Detroit Tigers ace delivered a shaky outing against the Seattle Mariners Friday night, something that he’s rarely done this season.
