An All-Star wannabe and a player who has already made it, make up the pitching match-up when Washington continues its home series against Cincinnati.

Max Scherzer goes for the Nationals a day after being named to the National League squad. He’s 9-6 with a 1.82 ERA for the NL East leaders. The right-hander is 3-1 with a 1.05 ERA in his last four starts, including a no-hitter June 20 against Pittsburgh.

Johnny Cueto gets the start for the Reds a day after being selected as one of the five players on the fan ballot for the final position on the NL roster. Voting closes Friday.

The Rays and Royals are set for a day-night doubleheader at Kauffman Stadium, a day after their game was postponed as tornado sirens blared across the Kansas City metro area. Matt Moore will pitch the opener for Tampa Bay in his second start since returning from Tommy John surgery.

Athletics ace Sonny Gray starts at Yankee Stadium. It’ll be his first appearance since June 25, shortly before he was hospitalized for salmonella. Gray is 9-2 with an AL best 2.09 ERA.

Rangers right-hander Yovani Gallardo takes a scoreless string of 29 1-3 innings into his start against the visiting Diamondbacks. He has the longest shutout streak in the majors this year.

The Rockies are home to play the L.A. Angels in the first of two at Coors Field through Wednesday.
