Torkelson narrowly misses cycle as Tigers hang on to beat Pirates, 8-7

DETROIT (AP) — Spencer Torkelson finished a single short of the cycle, Jackson Jobe allowed two runs in 5 1/3 innings and the Detroit Tigers beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 8-7 on Friday night after nearly wasting a six-run lead.

Detroit led 8-2 after seven innings, but RBI singles by Nick Gonzales and Ryan O’Hearn and a three-run homer by Rafael Flores Jr. pulled the Pirates within one run in the eighth.

Torkelson got some help from the Pirates defense – his second-inning triple was a sinking liner to right that evaded a diving Jake Mangum, and his double was a routine fly ball to shallow right-center that fell untouched among three fielders. He hit his 26th homer in the seventh and was on deck when the Tigers made the final out of the eighth.

Pittsburgh (81-79) needs one win for its first winning season since 2018.

Jobe (3-3) allowed three hits and two walks while striking out eight. He returned in August from Tommy John surgery and finished with a 3.91 ERA and 51 strikeouts in 46 innings.

Kenley Jansen pitched the ninth for his 498th save, his 22nd in 28 chances this season.

Bubba Chandler (9-9) gave up six runs, four hits and four walks in 2 2/3 innings.

Dillon Dingler had a two-run single, raising his career-high RBIs total to 91.

The game started 30 minutes late because of lengthy ceremonies honoring Justin Verlander on the eve of his final MLB start.

Up next

Verlander (0-1, 12.27) makes his first start at Comerica Park since Aug. 20, 2017, when he beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 6-1.

Defending State Champs Avonworth defeat Beaver Bobcats

Story by Keith Walsh – Beaver County Radio. Published September 26,2026 12:39 A.M.

(Beaver, Pa) The Bobcats had a slow start against the reining state champion Avonworth Antelopes in a game played at Pat Tarquinio Field in Beaver, Pa. Beaver County Radio had the call high atop The Bob Barrickman Broadcast Booth. Bob, a former student of Beaver High School was also a legendary sports announcer for WBVP Radio for years.

Beaver’s first drive featured a real nice pass from Jaivin Peel to a wide receiver down the far sideline who could not come down in bounds with it. Beaver was forced to punt it away and Jayden Jones went burning down the sidelines about 80 yards getting hit just before he went into the endzone head over heels.

The next drive the Bobcats moved the ball down to the 42, Avonworth sacked Beaver and forced a rugby style punt and the Antelopes took over at the 34.

Mason Mobley to Teddy Sweeney then Mobley throws to a slot receiver on a quick slat across the middle for a 55 yard TD to Logan Krul, fourteen to zero Antelopes.

The Bobcats were forced to punt again, Antelopes take over at the 35.

Beaver’s Braylon Mablin makes a big stop and Avonworth is forced to punt it away. A bad snap lets Beaver take over at the twenty.

Peel carries the ball for a few yards and hits Mayo at the 16. A roughing the passer moved it up to the 6 yard line. Peel drives forward on two runs to get the ball down to the one and gives it one more try on fourth down, reaching the ball over the line for a touchdown 14-6.

After both defenses forced punts on each other a couple times, Beaver has a punt tipped. The Antelopes take over at their 42.

Dimitri Velisaris makes a great run down to the 24, Beaver made some nice tackles but got pulled offsides for the fourth time giving the Antelopes 1st and goal. Mobley completes a pass to Bryce Metz and he gets it to the five yardline and you guessed it, a handoff to Dimitri Velisaris for the touchdown 21-6.

In the third Avonworth drives and Dimitri Vellisaris gets into the endzone on a 10 yard run.

After a couple punts Avonworth takes over at the 45. First play, a Mason Mobley qb draw 45 yard touchdown.

Bobcats ball, Brice Metz picks off a tipped ball 42-6.

The Bobcats and the Antelopes now both with the back ups in.

Bobcats recover a fumble at the 35 with a running clock. Bobcats punt Lopes take over at the 21. First play from scrimmage Jason Cervone takes it 80 yards off tackle down the sidelines dodging some tackles into the endzone.

Final score: 49 Avonworth – Beaver 6.
