"Mick Abel annihilated the Phillies, going six innings while striking out 1 and allowing 1 walk and 3 hits. At 73 pitches, he probably could've kept going, but why risk it at this point? Byron Buxton, Josh Outman, and Ryan Fitzgerald homered to back him up, but uh, they were supposed to lose. But they won. They're still too many games "ahead" of the Braves for it to matter, though."
"I have Luis Morales in one of my fantasy leagues. His stock took off this season, but there's some concern about him getting lefties out and his control. He's young. It's to be expected. Mike Yazstremski, Vinnie Pasquatino, and Bobby Witt all did damage, and Morales walked 2 while using over 100 pitched to not quite make it to 5 innings. Michael Wacha, on the other hand, was better over 6 innings, and the Athletics kept pace with the Braves."
"In this case, I'm mostly annoyed that the Mets are still in third place for the Wild Card. Clay Holmes the 6 shutout innings, though he walked 3 and struck out only two. Eury Perez struck out a lot more hitters (11), but he gave up 3 runs. Pete Alonso doubled, homered, and scored in another inning, and while it didn't seem like the Mets really wanted him back, they're probably happy now."
Mick Abel threw six innings, struck out one, walked one, allowed three hits, and exited after 73 pitches. Byron Buxton, Josh Outman, and Ryan Fitzgerald homered to provide run support. Luis Morales showed breakout potential but struggled with lefties and control, walking two and failing to reach five innings. Mike Yazstremski, Vinnie Pasquatino, and Bobby Witt produced offense. Michael Wacha delivered six effective innings for the Athletics. Clay Holmes tossed six shutout innings but issued three walks and struck out two. Eury Pérez struck out eleven but allowed three runs. Pete Alonso doubled, homered, and scored. Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton homered, while Tomoyuki Sugano allowed four earned runs in 4.1 innings. Multiple teams remained tightly bunched heading into the season finale.
