However, Abel and Bradley ended up struggling significantly against the worst team in the American League.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"inline-text-1\" class=\"scroll-mt-24 my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\"><strong>Chicago White Sox dominated against newly acquired Twins starting pitchers, Mick Abel and Taj Bradley, last weekend at Rate Field in Chicago<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p id=\"inline-text-2\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">Upon trading for Abel and Bradley, the Twins decided to start both pitchers in Triple-A so that they could work on refining certain aspects of their pitching. After one game each with Minnesota, it appears that they both still need to work on improving.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-3\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">Abel, 24, started against Chicago on Saturday and\u00a0failed to make it past three innings. Abel, who had a 1.76 ERA with 23 strikeouts in three starts for Triple-A St. Paul before being promoted last weekend, surrendered six earned runs on seven hits (one home run) and two walks while striking out two batters as the White Sox won 7-3. Not a great outing for the new Twins pitcher, who had a 5.04 ERA in six starts with Philadelphia this season.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-4\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">Although Abel had a rough outing, Twins fans were at least still looking forward to seeing Bradley&#8217;s debut with his new team. It couldn&#8217;t be worse than Abel&#8217;s outing, right?<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-5\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">Well, Bradley, who had a 4.61 ERA with 95 strikeouts in 111 1\/3 innings with Tampa Bay this season, somehow\u00a0arguably had a worse start than Abel in his Twins debut against the White Sox, allowing seven earned runs, all in the first two innings, on nine hits (one home run) and one walk with one strikeout as Chicago shutout Minnesota 8-0 on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-6\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">Before his disastrous Twins debut, Bradley, 24, had a poor 7.53 ERA with 18 strikeouts in three outings for the St. Paul Saints.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-7\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">At the end of the day, it was just one bad game each from Bradley and Abel, but it would have been nice for fans to see the team&#8217;s newly acquired young pitchers have better outings against the worst team in the American League.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/main><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2 starting pitchers acquired at trade deadline struggled in Twins debuts vs White Sox Minnesota Twins v Chicago White Sox | Justin Casterline\/GettyImages The Twins haven&#8217;t had&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":83357,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-83356","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 -
