Abel 3.0 2 0 0 0 5
Mick Abel got through a pretty representative Tigers lineup that included six regulars, including Kerry Carpenter and Riley Greene. He sat 96, threw 63% strikes, and got a whopping 12 swings-and-misses on just 46 pitches.
With Pablo Lopez out for the year, there’s a clear opening in the Twins’ rotation. Taj Bradley is first up, but Abel can beat him out with more outings like yesterday’s.
