Judge, who leads the majors with 34 home runs at the break, is batting fourth for the American League and Skenes, named NL starter last week, is"unlikely" to pitch more than one inning, National League manager Torey Lovullo said.
"We've got a good lineup. I think somebody will work a good count or get a base hit. So we'll see what happens," Judge said. "I've watched a couple of his games the last couple weeks since he got called up. It's special stuff, electric stuff," Judge said about therookie pitcher."You can talk about the velocity on his pitches, but the guy is a pitcher. He can work all three, four, five of his pitches, throw it any part of the zone, any count. He's a complete pitcher. It's going to be fun.
"Most likely, no. We have 11-12 pitchers to get through," Lovullo said."That's probably the hardest part of being the manager, is trying to get every pitcher in the game."
