He came up with a highlight play in the sixth inning, laying full out to spear a line ball hit to his right.



With his bat, he went a little harder.

In the second inning, batting eighth in the order, he batted for the first time in a Major League game and popped up a 1-1 pitch to the first baseman.

He hit a short fly to right field in the fifth inning and then struck out in his next two at-bats.

In the bottom of the eighth inning, Miguel Cabrera, who replaced Torkelson at first base and is now the Tigers’ designated hitter, singled in two runs to tie the game at 3-3.

It didn’t last very long. Torkelson’s friend, University of California product Andrew Vaughn, blasted a home ball in the ninth inning to give the White Sox a 5-4 lead.
