Abel allowed six earned runs and seven hits in three innings with two walks and two strikeouts in a 7-3 loss to the White Sox.

Mick Abel, the top pitching prospect the Twins acquired at the trade deadline, traveled with the team to Chicago and will make his Twins’ debut on Saturday, manager Rocco Baldelli said after Friday’s game, giving them their first look at a pitcher whom they expect to be a rotation piece in the future. Abel will take the roster spot of José Ureña.
