Clubs homer No. 20 Torkelson went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run and a second run scored in Wednesday's 10- extra-innings loss to the Orioles.

It was Torkelson's 20th homer of the season and his fourth in 13 games since the All-Star break, a stretch in which he's batting .222 (10-for-45) with eight runs and 11 RBI.

Impact Torkelson hit his 19th home run of the season in the second inning against Chicago starter Colin Rea. The slugging first baseman has now gone deep five times across his last 11 games as he continues to find his power stroke following a slow start to the season. Torkelson is seeking his second straight 30-homer campaign and third overall in his MLB career.

Slugs two homers Saturday Torkelson went 2-for-4 with two home runs and four total RBI in a 7-0 win against the Angels on Saturday.

Impact Torkelson recorded both Detroit long balls Saturday, launching a three-run homer in the first inning and a solo shot in the fifth. It was the first multi-homer game of the campaign for the first baseman, while the four RBI set a season-high mark. Torkelson's .209 batting average isn't setting the world on fire, but he's been a steady source of power with 18 homers, second-most on the team behind Dillon Dingler (19).

Goes deep again Friday Torkelson went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's 10-2 win over the Phillies.

Impact Torkelson hit his second home run over his last three games, and he's now up to 16 long balls on the season. The 26-year-old matched his career best with 31 homers in 155 regular-season contests last year. He's sitting at his current total after 93 games, so he'll need to finish on a torrid pace if he wants to set a new career high in 2026, though Torkelson is plenty capable of going on power binges.

Pops 15th home run Wednesday Torkelson went 1-for-3 with a walk and a three-run home run in Wednesday's 6-1 win over the Athletics.

Impact Torkelson continued his strong recent stretch of play with his 15th home run of the season. Over his last 10 games, the slugging first baseman is batting .278 with three long balls and 10 RBI. Torkelson's free-swinging approach leaves him susceptible to slumps, but his power gives him plenty of upside, and he should continue to see ample playing time for a Detroit team that's 20th in the majors in runs scored.
