MIAMI — Call this the Glamour Game.
Just minutes from glitzy South Beach, most of baseball’s biggest names will gather at Marlins Park for Tuesday night’s 88th annual All-Star Game. It’s the first All-Star Game ever in Florida.
The starting pitchers were announced on Monday: Boston Red Sox left-hander Chris Sale (11-4, 2.75 ERA, 178 strikeouts) for the American League, and Washington Nationals right-hander Max Scherzer (10-5, 2.10 ERA, 173 strikeouts) for the National League. They are Nos. 1-2 in the majors in strikeouts.
Sale, a native Floridian, will have friends and family members at Marlins Park to watch on Tuesday.
