Spencer Torkelson and Riley Greene each hit a two-run homer, and the Detroit Tigers beat the Boston Red Sox 4-1 on Sunday.
The Tigers earned their second series win in the last 13 against Boston and won the season series for the first time since 2017. They trail the Red Sox by a half-game for fourth in the AL wild-card race.
“I've been playing baseball for 20 years, and I've never gotten a first-pitch double play before,” Hurter said. “That was cool.” Greene made it 4-1 in the sixth, lining a two-run homer — his 20th — off Kelly that went just inside the right-field foul pole. Greene was the fifth pick in the 2019 amateur draft, and Torkelson was the first overall choice a year later. They are supposed to be the offensive cornerstones of Detroit's rebuild, but this was only the second time they have homered in the same game.
