Abel, who faces an uncertain future with the trade deadline approaching, struggled with his control, allowing five walks in 1⅔ innings.

Max Kepler and Brandon Marsh each homered and the Philadelphia Phillies beat the San Diego Padres 5-1 on Wednesday night to earn a doubleheader split. Kepler hit his 10th homer of the season — a two-run shot off San Diego starter Dylan Cease (3-8) in the fourth inning — to put the Phillies ahead 2-1.

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.
