SPORTS NEWS

- ➤ After Walker struggled and Nola’s ankle injury slowed his return, the Phillies may give Mick Abel another start since he pitched well on Friday in Norfolk—striking out eight in 4 2/3 innings while allowing one run. Manager Rob Thomson said they have not yet decided on moving Walker to the bullpen, and Abel’s strong numbers could earn him a spot in the rotation next week. Metro Philadelphia
- ➤ After losing Friday night's 6-2 opener, the Phillies took the field on Saturday with starter Jesús Luzardo—who had a 2.15 ERA on 11 starts—to try to end their two-game skid as they faced Brewers pitcher Chad Patrick while rain threatened to delay the game. Metro Philadelphia
