Detroit Tigers reliever Gregory Soto has been selected to the 2021 All-Star Game, scheduled for July 13 at Coors Field in Denver. The game between the American League and National League starts at 7:30 p.m.
The Tigers had a few worthy candidates — rookie starter Casey Mize, second baseman Jonathan Schoop, righty reliever Jose Cisnero and Rule 5 draft pick Akil Baddoo — but the left-handed Soto was selected to represent the organization on the AL All-Star team's roster.
This is Soto's first All-Star Game in his three-year MLB career.
"It's a big achievement," Soto said Sunday.
