Dave Roberts of the Los Angeles Dodgers, who is managing the NL, said Sanchez is his starter.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think he deserves it. He\u2019s the hometown ballplayer and I think the city of Philly will enjoy watching him and supporting him,\u201d Roberts said. \u201cI had a conversation with him this morning. \u2026 He was very grateful. In a time when guys are not wanting to participate, this guy in the Midsummer Classic for fans, I think this is a good thing. He\u2019s very excited about pitching.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Also Sunday, Yankees manager Aaron Boone said New York right-hander Cam Schlittler is not planning to pitch in the All-Star Game. Schlittler will still be at the game and there is no replacement planned for the AL roster.<\/p>\n<p>Sanchez is 11-4 with a 2.62 ERA this season. He\u2019s third in the major leagues with 144 strikeouts. The left-hander\u2019s streak of 50 2\/3 scoreless innings was a highlight of the major league season so far.<\/p>\n<p>Milwaukee\u2019s Jacob Misiorowski, who leads the majors in ERA (1.62), WHIP (0.76) and strikeouts (167), was replaced on the All-Star team earlier in the week, when it appeared he would be starting for the Brewers on Sunday. Then Milwaukee scratched him from that start because of arm fatigue.<\/p>\n<p>Cease is 6-4 with a 2.56 ERA for the Blue Jays. He nearly threw his second career no-hitter Wednesday against San Francisco, but it was broken up in the ninth inning.<\/p>\n<p>Cease is the first Toronto pitcher to start the All-Star Game since Roy Halladay in 2009.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/raleighmovingnews.com\/?p=5768\">Tampa Bay prospect Nathan Flewelling homers, MVP in AL\u2019s 6-1 win over NL in All-Star Futures Game<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Cease got the word from his manager, John Schneider, who will skipper the AL squad, during a team meeting before Sunday\u2019s series finale at San Diego.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s pretty surreal. I didn\u2019t know what to say. Everyone\u2019s saying, \u2018Give a speech,\u2019 and I\u2019m like, I was pretty speechless, so it was just a really cool experience,\u201d Cease said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s really cool how all of these things have lined up, you know, even being able to pitch in it and having a good enough first half to be in the running for it and all that. And the fact that pretty much our entire staff is going, it\u2019s really a really great recipe,\u201d Cease added. <\/p>\n<p>Schlittler was a candidate to start, boasting an AL-leading ERA of 2.05, but he pitched for the Yankees on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJust feels like on his recovery day to go back out there throwing 100 mph is something that I think he felt a little apprehensive about,\u201d Boone told reporters before New York\u2019s game at Washington. \u201cCertainly support that decision and obviously I think he understands what\u2019s at stake here in the second half too for us and for him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Schlittler could start the opening game of the second half against the Dodgers on Friday at Yankee Stadium.<\/p>\n<p>___<\/p>\n<p>AP freelance writers Bernie Wilson in San Diego and Doug Padilla in Los Angeles contributed to this report.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/raleighmovingnews.com\/?p=5766\">Royal Birkdale is a different British Open test than it was in 2017<\/a><\/p>\n<p>___<\/p>\n<p>AP MLB: https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/mlb<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cristopher S\u00e1nchez of the Philadelphia Phillies will start Tuesday night\u2019s All-Star Game in his home&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5771,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5772","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Philadelphia\u2019s S\u00e1nchez to start All-Star Game at home for NL.
