Overview

• Making his first start against his former team, the Twins right-hander tossed six shutout innings with nine strikeouts, three hits allowed and one walk in a 5-0 win in Philadelphia.
• Byron Buxton hit his 11th leadoff homer of the season to tie the franchise record, James Outman added a home run, and Ryan Fitzgerald also went deep, with Ryan Jeffers contributing an RBI double.
• The result clinched home-field advantage throughout the postseason for the Brewers, and the loss locked the Phillies into the No. 2 seed in the National League.
• Phillies starter Ranger Suárez gave up three runs on nine hits in 4 1/3 innings and exited after being struck on the left thigh by a line drive; the team said he sustained a contusion and would be evaluated further.
• A 2020 first-round pick by Philadelphia, Abel was dealt to Minnesota in July as part of a package for closer Jhoan Duran, returning Saturday to the ballpark where his May debut featured six scoreless innings and nine strikeouts.
