Right-handed pitcher Mick Abel, who was acquired by the Twins in the Jhoan Duran trade with Philadelphia, made his organizational debut on Sunday and pitched five scoreless innings. However, the St. Paul Saints lost 4-1 in Toledo and finished 1-5 in the series.
Abel, who is ranked as the Twins’ No. 6 prospect by MLB Pipeline, allowed just one hit and walked two. He struck out seven.
Christian MacLeod relieved Abel and gave up all four runs in three innings.
St. Paul was countered by Toledo’s Randy Dobnak, who was traded by Minnesota along with Chris Paddack to Detroit last week. Dobnak allowed one run in four innings.
The Saints took a 1-0 lead in the first inning when Payton Eeles singled home rehabbing Luke Keaschall, who went 1 for 4 as the leadoff hitter and designated hitter.
James Outman, who Minnesota acquired from the Los Angeles Dodgers for reliever Brock Stewart, was hitless in three at-bats while hitting second and playing center field.
