ALLENTOWN, PA — Roman Anthony, Mickey Gasper, and Kyle Teel led the offensive onslaught as the Worcester Red Sox (42-28)/(77-68) took the series opener from the Lehigh Valley IronPigs (31-37)/(65-76) by a score of 14-9 on Tuesday night in Allentown, Pennsylvania. Eight WooSox batters recorded a hit while the team finished 8-for-19 with runners in scoring position.
Mick Abel, the No. 6 ranked prospect in the Philadelphia Phillies organization according to MLB Pipeline, got the start for the IronPigs and looked to end his season on a high note. Despite carrying a 5.92 ERA into Tuesday night, the former first rounder has posted a 3.99 ERA in six starts since the beginning of August. But in the series opener with Worcester, Abel didn’t make it out of the third inning.
