NEW YORK (AP) — Cliff Lee of the Cleveland Indians and Milwaukee ace Ben Sheets will be the starting pitchers in Tuesday night’s All-Star game at Yankee Stadium.

Lee is 12-2 with a 2.31 ERA, a remarkable resurgence after the left-hander was demoted to the minors last season. He was chosen by American League manager Terry Francona of Boston .

NL manager Clint Hurdle of Colorado picked Sheets, who is 10-3 with a 2.85 ERA. Several other National League All-Stars pitched Sunday, making Sheets a logical choice.
