Competing for National League All-Star Starting Nod

Cristopher Sánchez is currently on a "collision course" for the MLB All-Star Game in Philadelphia on July 14. Sánchez is in direct competition with Jacob Misiorowski for the honor of being named the National League's starting pitcher. His performance over the coming weeks will likely determine his fate, as merit and the rotation calendar play significant roles in the final selection. Being named the starter in his home stadium would represent a massive milestone for the Phillies left-hander.
