CHICAGO — Mick Abel’s first pitch to Colson Montgomery missed badly, well wide of the zone. His second pitch to the Chicago White Sox shortstop was right over the heart of the zone. And Montgomery didn’t miss it, bashing a pitch left over the heart of the zone out to right field.

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.

Abel made his Twins debut and he wound up giving up six runs on seven hits and two walks in only three innings.
