Game 1 of Wednesday’s traditional doubleheader between the Detroit Tigers and Atlanta Braves belonged to the visitors.
Despite taking an early — and particularly exciting — early lead, the Tigers were unable to maintain their advantage, surrendering a flurry of runs to Atlanta’s top-five offense, falling 10-7.
The Tigers’ peak was exciting but short-lived. Spencer Torkelson lit the fire in the first inning when he crushed his second 400-foot home run in as many games, this time a 436-foot blast to deep left center field off fellow 2020 Draft selection and namesake twin Spencer Strider.
