After establishing himself as one of the Athletics’ most reliable arms during the first half of the season, Paul Blackburn will represent Oakland as its only MLB All-Star at Dodger Stadium on July 19.
The selection marks Blackburn’s first All-Star nod after compiling a 3.36 ERA and 6-4 record through 17 starts so far this season and comes amid glowing endorsements from both his teammates and coaching staff. Most impressive are Blackburn's road statistics, where he has a 1.28 ERA in 56 1/3 innings over 10 starts.in Seattle, A’s catcher Stephen Vogt referred to the right-hander as “Mr. Consistency” for Oakland this season -- and he has been just that.
Less than a year after posting a 1-4 record in nine starts with a 5.87 ERA after being recalled from Triple-A last August, Blackburn has rebounded to become one of the AL’s top pitchers this season. He ranks No. 14 in ERA among all AL pitchers and has surrendered the 10th-fewest earned runs with 34.
