 On July 1 , Young was nominated as a candidate for the All @-@ Star Final Vote , contending against Tom <unk> , Roy Oswalt , Brandon Webb and Carlos Zambrano . In a bid for the final spot on July 4 , Young posted seven scoreless innings in a 1 – 0 victory over the Florida Marlins to not only retake the National League ERA lead , but also assume the major league lead over Brad Penny by a slim margin ( 1 @.@ <unk> to 1 @.@ <unk> ) . The voting ended on July 5 , with Young defeating the four opposing pitchers to earn his first career All @-@ Star Game selection . The selection made Young the sixth Ivy League athlete named to the All @-@ Star team ( joining Lou Gehrig , Red Rolfe , Ron Darling , Brad Ausmus and Mike Remlinger ) .
