CINCINNATI (AP) - Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Zack Greinke will start for the National League in Tuesday night's All-Star Game and Houston Astros lefty Dallas Keuchel will be on the mound for the American League.

The 31-year-old Greinke is 8-2 with a big league-best 1.39 ERA and enters the game at Great American Ball Park following five straight scoreless starts over 35 2-3 inning. The 27-year-old Keuchel, with a distinctive long, bushy beard, is 11-4 with a 2.23 ERA.

The AL will open the game with an all right-handed-hitting lineup for the first time.
