PITTSBURGH (AP) — Paul Skenes’ first All-Star selection was as speedy as his fastball. Just eight weeks after his major league debut for the Pittsburgh Pirates, the 22-year-old right-hander was selected by Major League Baseball for the National League roster in the July 16 game at Arlington, Texas. Skenes’ final outing before the All-Star break is likely to be midweek, so he could be a possibility to start for the NL. He made his first big league start on May 11 and is 5-0 with a 2.12 ERA in 10 starts and 78 strikeouts in 59 1/3 innings. Outfielder Bryan Reynolds was also named to the squad. It will be his second All Star Game appearance.
