'I knew it was coming': Tigers' Torkelson, after 0-for-10 start, bags first big-league hit

Detroit — He wasn’t worried about it. He truly was not freaking out or pressing or beating himself up. He just wanted to get one. Sooner the better.

Tigers rookie Spencer Torkelson, the first overall pick in the draft in 2020, is off the schneid.

He looped a double between Boston center fielder Kiki Hernandez and right fielder Christian Arroyo in the third inning of Tuesday's 5-3 loss, his first big-league hit after starting out 0-for-10.
