ARLINGTON, Texas — Corbin Burnes of the Baltimore Orioles will start for the American League in Tuesday night’s All-Star Game against Pittsburgh rookie Paul Skenes.

A 29-year-old right-hander, Burnes is 9-4 with a 2.93 ERA in his first season with the Orioles, who acquired him from Milwaukee just before spring training. Burnes, the 2021 NL Cy Young Award winner, is an All-Star for the fourth straight season. He will become the fifth Orioles pitcher to start an All-Star Game, and the first since Steve Stone in 1980.

Skenes, who made his major league debut on May 11, is 6-0 with a 1.90 ERA in 11 starts, striking out 89 and walking 13 in 661/3 innings.

At this time last year, he was the top pick in the amateur draft, weeks after celebrating an NCAA title with LSU.

The 11 starts for the 21-year-old right-hander will be the fewest for an All-Star and he will become the fifth rookie starter after Dave Stenhouse (1962), Mark Fidrych (1976), Fernando Valenzuela (1981) and Hideo Nomo (1995).

“It’s an honor, but I’m 11 starts in,” Skenes said. “Hopefully there’s a lot more time that I can play this game.”

NL Manager Torey Lovullo announced last week he was starting Skenes.

AL Manager Bruce Bochy of Texas said Monday he has Steven Kwan of Cleveland hitting leadoff and playing left field, followed by Baltimore shortstop Gunnar Henderson, New York Yankees right fielder Juan Soto and center fielder Aaron Judge, Houston designed hitter Yordan Alvarez, Guardians shortstop José Ramírez, Toronto first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Orioles catcher Adley Rutschman and Rangers second baseman Marcus Semien.

Ketel Marte of Arizona bats first and plays second base for the NL, followed by Los Angeles Dodgers designated hitter Shohei Ohtani, Philadelphia shortstop Trea Turner, Phillies first baseman Bryce Harper, Milwaukee catcher William Contreras, Brewers right fielder Christian Yelich, Phillies third baseman Alex Bohm, Dodgers center fielder Teoscar Hernández and San Diego left fielder Jurickson Profar.

ADRIAN BELTRE will throw out the first pitch for the All-Star Game at the home of his final team, the Texas Rangers, five days before his induction as a first-ballot Hall of Famer.

Beltré will be accompanied by three other former Rangers in the Hall of Fame, pitchers Fergie Jenkins and Nolan Ryan, and catcher Iván Rodríguez. Beltré is set to be enshrined in Cooperstown on Sunday.

WASHINGTON CLOSER Kyle Finnegan was named as a replacement on the National League All-Star team for St. Louis closer Ryan Helsley.

Finnegan is the fourth replacement been named for the NL roster, while there have been five AL replacements. He also became the 39th first-time All-Star.

Finnegan, a Texas native, is 2-4 with 25 saves and a 2.45 ERA in 41 appearances this year. This is his fifth MLB season.

Helsley leads the majors with 32 saves, the last coming Saturday in his first appearance since July 5. He is still taking part in the All-Star activities in Arlington.

ANGELS: The team and the city of Anaheim, California, agreed to settle a two-year-old dispute, providing the Angels with $2.75 million in financial relief while granting the city the right to build a fire station on the Angel Stadium property.

The resolution has no impact on the team’s long-term future at Angel Stadium, where its lease expires in 2029. In a statement, the city said that issue was not raised during talks to settle the dispute and there are “no long-term talks underway now.”

In 2022, after the FBI disclosed allegations of corruption against then-mayor Harry Sidhu, the Anaheim City Council killed the deal in which Angels owner Arte Moreno and his company would have bought the stadium property, renovated or replaced the ballpark, and surrounded it with a village of homes, shops, restaurants, offices and hotels.

Under the terms of the deal, the city owed Moreno $5 million if Anaheim called off the transaction. The city had declined to pay. Five months later, when the city wanted to build a fire station on the property, Moreno exercised his right to prevent development on the stadium property. The sides had put litigation on hold while seeking a settlement.
