As you’re no doubt aware of by now, the Phillies are going to be without Aaron Nola for longer than they originally anticipated. Mick Abel has been filling in more than admirably in Nola’s stead, Tuesday’s three-home runs allowed notwithstanding.
In three starts since being called up to the Majors, Abel is 1-0 with a 2.35 ERA. The Phillies are 1-2 in those three starts, but one of those losses is not the fault of Abel, as he only allowed one run in 5.1 IP while the offense was only able to score one run and Jordan Romano allowed a walk-off in the ninth.
