Detroit Tigers evened series against Milwaukee Brewers

Detroit — It was coming. Spencer Torkelson could feel it.

In his first at-bat, he hit a sizzler, 106.2 mph off his bat. To that point, it was his hardest-hit ball of the year. But it went right into the glove of left fielder Brandon Lockridge.

“That’s a win in my eyes,” Torkelson said. “Obviously, it’s 0-for-1. But what are you going to do? You can’t totally manipulate where the ball is going to go.”
