Detroit rode a rain-delayed, 2-1 win in Chicago behind Spencer Torkelson’s ninth-inning blast, a Tork Bomb that capped a late rally. Torkelson sits at 26 homers, 12th in MLB and 6th in the AL, one ahead of Riley Greene (25). Tarik Skubal delivered another strong outing, drawing comparisons to Clayton Kershaw as he continues a stretch of elite starts. AJ Hinch’s message to the AL Central, notably Cleveland, hangs over the Tigers as they head into a two-game Chi-town set before welcoming the Twins at Comerica Park. The Tigers’ rising core—and Torkelson/Greene’s continued power—could shape the division’s late-season tilt.
