Torkelson's Walk-Off Homer Clinches Tigers' Victory

0:00On April 23rd, Spencer Torkelson is on fire for the Detroit Tigers, smashing back-to-back homeruns including a massive walk-off in the 9th inning. To clinch a 5-4 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers at Comerica Park, this Thursday afternoon thriller kept a series win after his first homer of the season just the night before on Wednesday. The Tigers had the battle back from a deficit built against Ace Tark Scoobal, who gave up the Brewers lead early. In July, Jones came off the bench in the 8th and tied it up with a pinch hit blast off left the Angel's Erpa, setting the stage perfectly. Fans were buzzing as Brant Hurter shut the door in the top of the 9th, straining the go-ahead runner with a clutch double play. That handed the moment to Torkelson, who's been waiting all year for this power surge. He didn't disappoint, crushing a 99-mile per hour fastball from closer Avner Urbey, deep to left field, nearly the exact same spot as his homer. From the previous night off, Chad Patrick, pure poetry and motion.
