Mariners pitcher's All-Star selection celebrated by wife

In 2024, Logan Gilbert earned his first All-Star nod after a brilliant year on the mound. The young hurler led the majors in games started with 33 and innings pitched with 208.2. As a tribute to his All-Star selection, his wife Aviles made a heartwarming post on Instagram.

"All Star Game 2024. What an amazing experience to watch your dream of making the ASG team come true. I’m beyond proud that your beautiful hard work got recognized this week. I am so grateful to be a part of the celebrations! I love you, Logan!" Aviles wrote.

Gilbert finished the season with a 9-12 record with a 3.23 ERA, an MLB-best .0887 WHIP, and 220 strikeouts. He became just the third Mariners pitcher in the 2020s to be selected for the All-Star Game, alongside Luis Castillo and George Kirby, who were selected in the 2023 edition.

Gilbert holds the lowest ERA among Seattle starters with at least six starts this campaign at 2.37.
