SEATTLE — The end of the 2022 season is less than 24 hours away.
Ahead of Wednesday's finale, the Detroit Tigers lost both games of Tuesday's doubleheader to the Seattle Mariners at T-Mobile. They were dropped 7-6 in the 10th inning in Game 1, as closer Gregory Soto was outdueled on the mound by a backup catcher in extras, then 9-6 in nine innings in Game 2.
Rookie Spencer Torkelson, who homered in Game 1, added another home run in Game 2 for his eighth long ball of the season. The 23-year-old became the first Tiger to homer in both games of a doubleheader since Jeimer Candelario in September 2020.
