The All-Star Game will be played on July 16 at Globe Life Park in Arlington, Texas and this will be Gilbert's first inclusion in the event. It's always great to see players show their families recognition for helping them get to this point. It's also great to hear the emotion in a families voice as they beam with pride over their child's accomplishments.
Though the Mariners have struggled to give him run support this season, Gilbert has given the team a chance to win almost each time out. He's 5-5 entering play on Tuesday night with a stellar 2.91 ERA. He's paired with Luis Castillo and George Kirby to make one of the best trios in the American League and that starting rotation is the main reason why the Mariners are still in first place in the American League West.
The M's are currently 49-43 and are trying to win their first American League West crown since 2001. Gilbert will be on the mound for Seattle as they take on the San Diego Padres on Tuesday night. He'll be opposed by youngster Adam Mazur, who is 1-2 for the year.
First pitch at Petco Park is set for 6:40 p.m. PT. There are just six games left before the All-Star break.
