ST. LOUIS (AP) — Spencer Torkelson had a pair of hits,
walked twice and drove in a run to help the Tigers beat the St. Louis
Cardinals 5-1 on Wednesday for Detroit's 15th win in its past 20 games.
Brant Hurter allowed one hit in three scoreless innings
in his second career start, and Chase Lee (1-0) followed with two
scoreless innings to earn his first major league win as the Tigers used
six pitchers in a bullpen game. |

Andre Pallante (4-3) allowed three runs and
four hits and four walks in 5 2/3 innings for his first loss at
home since Sept. 10, 2024, against Cincinnati.
Willson Contreras had an RBI single to center field off Brenan
Hanifee to score Victor Scott II in the sixth inning and cut
Detroit’s lead to 3-1.
The Tigers added two runs in the eighth on Trey Sweeney's
sacrifice fly and Javier Báez's RBI single.
In the fourth, Torkelson lined a double to the right-center
field warning track that bounced off the glove of Jordan Walker
to score Riley Greene and expand the Tigers’ lead to 2-0.
Key moment
Pallante issued one-out walks to Torkelson and Greene before
Colt Keith flied out to left field in the top of the sixth to
end Pallante’s day. Dillon Dingler stroked a single to left
field off Phil Maton to put the Tigers ahead 3-0.
Key stat
St. Louis lost by more than one run for the first time since
falling to the New York Mets 9-3 at home on May 2.
