(Reuters) - Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Zack Greinke and Houston Astros left-hander Dallas Keuchel will be the starting pitchers for Major League Baseball's All-Star game in Cincinnati on Tuesday, team managers announced.

Greinke, who will start for the National League, is having an outstanding season with the Dodgers.

The 31-year-old has an 8-2 win-loss record and a 1.39 earned run average, the only player in the majors under 2.00.

He became the clear choice after Washington's Max Scherzer started for the Nationals on Sunday and became unavailable for the All-Star duty.
