Tigers 6, Braves 5: Torkelson’s late inning heroics help snap losing skid

Just when you thought they were out, they pulled us right back in! In what started as another lifeless performance, the Tigers mounted a massive comeback in the late innings to pull off a huge 6-5 extra-inning victory against the Atlanta Braves. Spencer Torkelson played hero on multiple occasions as the Tigers snapped their nine game losing streak.

There was much adieu about nothing up until the ninth inning. Failing time and time again with runners in scoring position, they were like a different team once the game clock was near midnight. Down 5-2, the Tigers had to face one of the better closers in baseball in Raisel Iglesias.
