Reliever Gregory Soto is this year’s Tigers All-Star Game representative, and it marks the third straight season that Detroit will have a relief pitcher as its lone rep joining Joe Jimenez (2018) and Shane Greene (2019). This season, Soto has posted a 4-1 record to go with a 2.94 ERA, seven holds, and six saves, which are tied for the team lead with 2017 All-Star Michael Fulmer.
Soto is the first Tigers left-hander to make an All-Star team since David Price in 2015, and the team’s first All-Star lefty reliever since Willie Hernandez earned three consecutive selections from 1984-86.
