SEATTLE — Spencer Torkelson walked through the clubhouse Tuesday morning carrying a well-worn bat. He was heading toward the batting cage. This was hours before the Tigers would fail to take advantage of a catcher pitching in the 10th inning and get walked off by the Mariners in the bottom of the 10th, losing 7-6 in the first game of a doubleheader at T-Mobile Park.
“Is that the one with all the hits in it?” he was jokingly asked.
“Yep, this is the one,” he said.
