Spencer Torkelson powers sizzling-hot Tigers to 6th straight win

Detroit Tigers first baseman Spencer Torkelson led his team to a 10-1 win over the Toronto Blue Jays in a sellout game at Rogers Centre on September 15th. Torkelson's three-run homer was the decisive blow in the Tigers' sixth straight victory. After struggling in August, Torkelson has been on fire in September, hitting four homers in two weeks.

In this game, he added a stolen base and scored on a single from John Peck to extend the Tigers' lead. The Tigers (72-79) are 4½ games behind the Cleveland Guardians in the American League wild card race. They are also 5½ games behind the White Sox in the AL Central division, with four crucial games coming up in Chicago.
