Summary
National and American League lineups are now set for Tuesday’s All-Star Game at Citizens Bank Park, with Philadelphia placing three starters: Cristopher Sanchez, Kyle Schwarber and Brandon Marsh.
Schwarber will bat leadoff as the NL designated hitter after replacing Shohei Ohtani, who is sitting out because of a knee injury, while Marsh slots seventh in right field.
Sanchez enters with an 11-4 record and 2.62 ERA, becoming the first Phillies pitcher to start an All-Star Game since Roy Halladay in 2011.
The AL will counter with Toronto’s Dylan Cease, 6-4 with a 2.56 ERA, also his club’s first All-Star starter since Halladay in 2009.
