One Sentence Summary: Mick Abel enjoyed some revenge against his former team, pitching six shutout innings in this 5-0 punchless Phillies loss.
What It Means: It was a long-shot, but this loss let the Brewers clinch the #1 seed in the National League playoff bracket. The Brewers also lost to the Reds, making it even more frustrating. Instead of facing off against the Cubs or Padres, the Phillies will wait to face the Dodgers, Mets or Reds in the NLDS.
What Happened: Abel has struggled in his three appearances with the Twins, owning a 14.63 ERA in eight innings pitched. But he handled his ex-teamates in this game, allowing three hits and striking out nine. Ranger Suarez labored through 4 1/3 innings, allowing three runs on nine hits, including a pair of home runs. He exited the game in the fifth after taking a liner off his groin. (The injury was diagnosed post-game as a contusion.) The Phillies had seven hits in this game, going 0 for 3 with runners in scoring position.
Featured Card: He only pitched in six games for the Phillies this season, but I still managed to accumulate 29 of Abel's cards during his time with the organization. This is his logo-less card from last year's Donruss set, which I picked for this post because it kind of looks like he's wearing a Twins uniform.
