The Detroit Tigers took the second of a four-game road series against the Kansas City Royals on Friday night, 2-1, with rookie Spencer Torkelson playing the role of Moses delivering the Motor City Kitties to the promised land with a two-run home run in the seventh inning. Tarik Skubal looked sharp on the mound, mixing his pitches well and hitting his corners in one of his best major league starts to date, while Miguel Cabrera edged closer to 3,000 with a double just ahead of Tork’s bomb. Mazel tov!
With momentum behind them, the Tigers look to do it again on Saturday afternoon behind yet another young pitcher who is still finding his groove in the big leagues.
