  • Tigers' Spencer Torkelson: Pops ninth home run

    Torkelson went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 8-3 loss to the Rangers.

    Torkelson had the only extra-base hit for the Tigers, delivering his ninth long ball of the season in the eighth inning. The 23-year-old has now surpassed his home run total from his 2022 rookie campaign in 33 fewer games, which is a promising sign for his power development. He's still struggling to make consistent contact, however, with a .218 batting average.

The long ball was just his second home run in June, but he's been swinging a hot bat over the course of the month, slashing .368/.397/.517 with 17 RBI, 11 runs and a 3:13 BB:K in 21 games since June 1. He now stands at 57 RBI for the year, which is currently fifth-most in baseball and the most by a Cleveland first baseman through just under 70 games since Jim Thome had 60 RBI in 1998.

Solano now has all three of his home runs this year over his last 13 games, a span during which he also boasts an impressive 12:7 BB:K. The 35-year-old has been one of the Twins' best hitters this season, slashing .277/.381/.397 with 16 extra-base hits, 19 RBI, 18 runs scored and a 26:45 BB:K over 215 plate appearances. He continues to hit toward the top of the order versus lefties but has not been able to maintain a consistent spot against righties.

Diaz has entrenched himself in the leadoff spot and has thrived, as he's now slashing .316/.404/.518 with 12 homers, 38 RBI, 51 runs and a 34:45 BB:K over 292 plate appearances. His .316 batting average is currently sixth-best in baseball and third-best in the American League behind only Bo Bichette and Austin Hays.
