Twins’ Mick Abel Finishes Season With Best MLB Start
This is not a season to remember for the Twins, but after trading away almost the entire bullpen at the trade deadline, the Twins best hope is to show some signs of life for 2026 and beyond. Righthander Mick Abel, acquired from the Phillies in the Jhoan Duran trade, did that on Saturday. Abel held his old organization to just three hits in six scoreless innings. He struck out nine while walking only one. Abel touched 98.9 mph while filling the strike zone (53 strikes in 73 pitches). He allowed just four hits while striking out 15 in 10 innings in his two starts with the Twins this month.
