SAN DIEGO — One day after Giants ace Madison Bumgarner carried a no-hit bid into the eighth inning and threw a one-hit shutout, another Giants ace was named to start Tuesday’s All Star Game.
Johnny Cueto got the call from National League manager Terry Collins.
Cueto will become the first Giants pitcher to start an All Star Game since Matt Cain in 2012. Other Giants to start: Tim Lincecum, Jason Schmidt, Rick Reuchel, Vida Blue and Juan Marichal.
Clayton Kershaw would have been Collins’ first choice, but Kershaw is on the disabled list.
