Hays Returns, Murray Injured: White Sox Outfield Shakeup

0:00It's April 28th. Welcome in. This is MLB News Today, where the game meets AI. I'm Cory with the story. Spencer Torkelson is on fire, smashing a home run in five straight games for the Tigers, tying the franchise record held by legends like Hank, Greenberg and Willie Horton. This street kicked off last week, and he's got a real history against the Braves, homering in four of his six career gains versus them, including. Back to back blasts last September. That makes the Tiger series in Atlanta starting tonight at 715 Eastern, even spicier. A homer Tuesday would give Torkelson the solo team mark and match the first six game streak in majors since Rafael Devers two years back. Keeper rolling, and the big league record of H-Straight is in sight, last done by Ken Griffey Jr. in 1993. Pictures are on to him now, finally challenging the big man after dodging him early. In Cincinnati, the Reds tried sweepers specialists and relievers, but Torkelson crushed fastballs

1:01anyway, going five for twelve with all homers during. The streak, no swing, and misses on four seamers. Looking ahead, Tuesday brings lefty Martin Perez, who Torkelson's face plenty but never homered off. Perez mixes sinkers, changeups, and cutters, though he's allowed three long balls this year. Wednesday's JR Richie and Thursday's possible rematch with Bryce Elder could test him further. If Torkelson stays locked in on those fastballs and handles the variety, this streak might just rewrite some history books, definitely one to keep eyes. One as the series unfolds.
