One strike. That was all Mick Abel needed. One measly strike, one pitch anywhere close to the zone, and Abel might’ve sidestepped trouble Wednesday, two innings into the Phillies’ day-night doubleheader against the Padres.

The Philadelphia Phillies and San Diego Padres will play two after a Tuesday night rainout with getaway day for the Padres now becoming a day-night doubleheader.

The Phillies don’t get all that many home runs from their outfield, so it was a nice surprise that Brandon Marsh decided to hit one of his own leading off the fifth. (This thankfully took any awful baserunning decisions off the table.) Later in the inning, Nick Castellanos made it a 4-1 game with an RBI single.
