Detroit Tigers ’ Spencer Torkelson leaps towards home plate on a passed pitch during the sixth inning of a baseball game v], Saturday, Aug. 17, 2024, in Detroit. Detroit Tigers ’ Parker Meadows, right, celebrates with Trey Sweeney , Jace Jung and Spencer Torkelson after his game winning hit against the New York Yankees during the tenth inning of a baseball game at the MLB Little League Classic t in Williamsport, Pa., Sunday, Aug. 18, 2024.
