The 2018 all-star game is set to kick off on Tuesday evening at 4:30 PM PST from National’s Park in Washington D.C. and will be televised on FOX. The midsummer classic will feature 32 all-stars on each league’s roster. Dodger’s manager Dave Roberts is managing the National League team, and Houston manager A.J. Hinch will manage the American League squad.
This summer’s midsummer classic will see three Dodgers on the National League all-star team. Matt Kemp, Ross Stripling and Kenley Jansen have been selected from the Dodgers. Stripling and Jansen were voted onto the reserves with Stripling replacing Cardinal’s hurler Miles Mikolas because his wife is expecting. Kemp was voted in by the fans as a starter. Kemp is the lone Dodger position player to make the team and the only Dodger starter.
Boston southpaw Chris Sale will get the start for the American League while Washington right hander Max Scherzer will take the mound for the National League. Sale is just the third pitcher ever to make three consecutive starts in the all-star game. Scherzer is making his third all-star game appearance.
