Spencer Torkelson made a remarkable comeback in the majors for the Detroit Tigers, contributing a double and a triple as the team defeated the New York Yankees 4-0 on Saturday. Torkelson, who is on the verge of turning 25 in August, had been struggling with a .201 batting average and four home runs before being sent down to Triple-A on June 2. This weekend marked his return to the big league, alongside fellow promising infield prospects Jace Jung and Trey Sweeney for the Tigers.

The Tigers’ right-hander, Keider Montero, showcased his skills on the mound as he struck out five batters in five-plus innings during his tenth career start. Montero excelled by only allowing two hits, securing his third consecutive win. Tyler Holton took over pitching duties after Montero, pitching for three solid innings, while Jason Foley closed the game with a stellar performance, navigating around a leadoff double by Aaron Judge in the ninth inning.

New York Yankees’ starting pitcher Carlos Rodón, who holds a 13-8 record, encountered a tough outing by giving up four runs and seven hits in just 3 1/3 innings. Despite his efforts, the Tigers’ offense proved to be too much for Rodón to handle on this occasion.
