Torkelson went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Guardians.

Torkelson started the scoring for Detroit in the second inning with his seventh home run of the season. It was his first long ball since May 3, and in 13 games in between, he went an ugly 5-for-46 with 23 strikeouts before Tuesday's long ball. It was a small step in the right direction for Torkelson, though he was lifted for a pinch hitter in the eighth inning, and he'll need to stay out of another rough patch to hold onto consistent playing time.
