Rookie pitcher Jacob Misiorowski has only played five MLB games. But in that short time, the Milwaukee Brewers starlet has produced such impressive performances that he was named a National League All-Star on Friday,

Cal Raleigh hit his 37th and 38th home runs in Seattle's 12-3 victory over Detroit on Friday night to move within one of Barry Bonds' 2001 major league record for homers before the All-Star break.

A fter getting swept against the New York Yankees, the Seattle Mariners will look to right the ship in the final series before the All-Star break. The Mariners and Detroit Tigers will begin the series at 4:10 p.m. PT on Friday at Comerica Park.

The Tigers look to make a hard push heading into the Midsummer Classic, as they hope to stay at the top of the Major League Baseball standings before Monday. They are riding high thanks to a stretch of good play, having swept the Cleveland Guardians, on the road, last weekend, before taking two of three from the Tampa Bay Rays earlier in the week.

Historically, it's risky to draft right-handed high school pitchers at the very top of the MLB Draft. Also historically, the Seattle Mariners have been incredible at drafting and developing pitchers in their farm system. Almost the entire rotation for the team was drafted by the M's and brought through the franchise's farm system.

A Thursday deal between the Baltimore Orioles and Tampa Bay Rays means the Mariners no longer have the biggest pool of cash to spend in the draft.
