EDGE Analysis

Mick Abel was the scheduled starter for the Phillies, but a rain delay was called prior to the first pitch after the right-hander had already warmed up. When play resumed, the team elected to go with a bullpen game, and Rangel did most of the heavy lifting after Philadelphia raced out to an 11-0 lead in the third inning, tossing 71 pitches (49 strikes).
