Spencer Torkelson

DET First Baseman #20

Spencer Torkelson went 2-for-4 with a double and a pair of RBI on Sunday afternoon, propelling the Tigers to a 2-0 victory over the Athletics in Oakland.

Torkelson stepped up to the plate with the bases loaded and one out in the third inning and snapped a scoreless tie by dinking a two-run single into right field. The 24-year-old slugger also doubled in the first inning. With his two-hit effort, he’s now slashing .232/.312/.441 with 29 homers, 88 RBI and three stolen bases as he heads into the final week of the season.
Parker Meadows

DET Center Fielder #22

Parker Meadows went 2-for-3 with a double and a run scored on Sunday as the Tigers shut out the Athletics in Oakland.

The 23-year-old rookie outfielder started a rally with a one-out double in the third inning then scored on Spencer Torkelson’s two-run single. In his first 31 games at the big league level, Meadows has slashed .214/.328/.337 with a pair of homers, nine RBI and seven stolen bases (in eight attempts) over 116 plate appearances.
Alex Lange

DET Relief Pitcher #55

Alex Lange closed out the Athletics on Sunday, getting the final four outs to preserve a two-run advantage.

The 27-year-old right-hander notched his 25th save of the season for his efforts. Lange did allow a leadoff double to Shea Langeliers in the ninth to make things interesting, but rebounded to retire Ryan Noda on a ground ball, Tony Kemp on strikes and Tyler Soderstrom on a ground ball to first base to end it. He now holds a 3.84 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and a 76/44 K/BB ratio across 63 innings on the season.
Eduardo Rodriguez

DET Starting Pitcher #57

Eduardo Rodriguez was terrific in Sunday afternoon’s victory over the Athletics, allowing just five hits over seven shutout innings.

The 30-year-old southpaw struck out five batters on the afternoon while issuing four free passes. Rodriguez generated 10 swings and misses on 100 pitches on the day — eight on his fastball — while registering a CSW of 25 percent. He’ll attempt to finish his season on a high note as he lugs a 12-9 record, 3.41 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and a 138/47 K/BB ratio (145 innings) into Saturday’s matchup against the Guardians at Comerica Park.
Kerry Carpenter

DET Left Fielder #30

Kerry Carpenter is not in the Tigers’ starting lineup for Sunday’s finale against the Athletics.

Carpenter has been outstanding in his breakout campign, hitting .288/.346/.492 with 20 homers and five steals across 433 plate appearances, and will get a much-needed day of rest on Sunday with lefty JP Sears on the bump for Oakland. Matt Vierling will bat leadoff and patrol right field in his place.
Joey Wentz

DET Starting Pitcher #43

Joey Wentz yielded two runs in 5 2/3 innings Saturday in relief against the A’s.

Wentz was pitching behind Miguel Díaz today, entering the game in the second and then staying in through the seventh. He gave up a two-run homer to Esteury Ruiz in the third, but he allowed just two other hits, walked none and struck out five on the day. The velocity spike Wentz experienced this spring did him no good and is mostly gone now. He’s not hopeless, but at 3-12 with a 6.45 ERA, he might find his roster spot in jeopardy this winter.
Miguel Diaz

DET Relief Pitcher #58

Miguel Díaz will serve as the Tigers’ opener on Saturday against the Athletics.

Díaz gets the ball to open a bullpen game for the Tigers on Saturday afternoon out in Oakland. The 28-year-old right-hander has allowed just one run on five hits with a 12/4 K/BB ratio across 8 2/3 innings of work (nine appearances, two starts) since being summoned earlier this month from Triple-A Toledo.
Carson Kelly

DET Catcher #18

Carson Kelly went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer on Friday against the Athletics.

The Tigers couldn’t get much going against Ken Waldichuk and the A’s until Kelly took him deep for a two-run blast in the fifth inning. It was the only offense of the day for the Tigers. The 29-year-old catcher is hitting .214/.270/.302 with two homers and 11 RBI across 137 plate appearances.
Sawyer Gipson-Long

DET Starting Pitcher

Sawyer Gibson-Long allowed one run with four strikeouts over five innings on Friday in a no-decision against the Athletics on Friday.

Gipson-Long allowed a leadoff single to start the game. Zack Gelof followed with a double to drive in a run for the A’s. Gipson-Long settled in for four more scoreless frames, ending his day after five with four strikeouts. The 25-year-old right-hander holds a 2.40 ERA, 1.07 WHIP, and a 20/6 K/BB ratio across 15 innings. He lines up for one more start against Royals in Detroit next week.
Javier Baez

DET Shortstop #28

Javier Báez (back) has returned to the Tigers’ starting lineup for Friday night’s showdown against the Athletics.

The 30-year-old shortstop sat out each of the team’s last three ballgames due to tightness in his lower back. Báez will start at shortstop and bat seventh for the Tigers on Friday evening against Ken Waldichuk and the Athletics in Oakland.
