A pair of Alabama State Hornets were selected in the 2025 MLB draft on Monday. Both selected in the 20th round, first baseman Juan Cruz was selected by the Washington Nationals with pick No. 591 and outfielder Kameron Douglas went to the Detroit Tigers at No. 609.

Melanie Boppel, who recently styled Jalen Hurts and his wife Bryonna for the Met Gala, is dressing both Raleigh and Skubal for this year’s red carpet. Skubal, a two-time All-Star who is starting for the American League on Tuesday night, has been working with Boppel to curate a look that will make him feel confident on the red carpet.

Detroit Tigers left-hander Tarik Skubal owns a 2.23 ERA with 16 walks and 153 strikeouts across 121 innings in 19 starts during the 2025 season.

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.
