US EditionEx-Phillies Prospect Abel Shuts Down Former Team as Twins Win 5-0
Mick Abel struck out nine and allowed only three hits in six scoreless innings after a tough start with the Twins following his July trade from the Phillies.

- Traded at the July deadline in the package for closer Jhoan Duran, Mick Abel made his major league debut on May 18 but struggled early with Minnesota, allowing six runs in each of his first two outings and spending September in Triple-A.
- Minnesota Twins lineup combined for 11 hits, with Byron Buxton going 2-for-5 including a leadoff homer and RBI, while James Outman, Ryan Fitzgerald homered and Ryan Jeffers added an RBI double.
- The result left the Twins at 9-91, while the Phillies remained 95-65 and were held scoreless despite seven hits, with relief by Phil Ohl and Kody Funderburk totaling three innings of shutout baseball.
- Both teams will conclude the series at Citizens Bank Park on September 28 with one regular-season game remaining, and Mick Abel may have boosted his standing for a rotation spot next year.
