Mick Abel was dealing in his MLB debut against Pittsburgh Pirates ace Paul Skenes. The Philadelphia Phillies No. 8 prospect struck out nine batters in six shutout innings en route to a 1-0 home win. The nine punchouts tied Curt Simmons (1947) for the most in an MLB debut by a Phillies pitcher since at least 1901. "This was my dream since I was little," Abel said.
