Former LSU Pitcher Selected For MLB All-Star Game

Former LSU pitcher Paul Skenes is having a big time in his rookie season in the big leagues.

The Pittsburgh Pirates drafted Skenes in May, and he's now on his way to the MLB All-Star Game.

Skenes is the only former Tiger to make the cut this year, but he's the eighth former LSU player in the past nine years and the 14th overall.

He debuted with the Pirates on May 11 against the Chicago Cubs.
