Starting for the American League is Gerrit Cole. Cole is 9-2 with a 2.85 ERA in 19 games this season. This is his sixth All-Star selection, but his first as a starter.
“He’s been to the All-Star Game five or six times, and it was time for him to start,” Baker said of Cole, “plus he’s one of the best, and that’s what he wanted.”
Gallon is having the best season of his big league career, going 11-3 with a 3.04 ERA in 19 games, with 11 of those wins coming in the first half alone. With his first All-Star Game appearance, Gallon became the first Arizona starter in 21 years since Curt Schilling in 2002.
“His numbers are unbelievable, and he’s had a great year,” said Thompson, who gave Gallon the starting role.
