Torres capped off a five-run uprising off of Sawyer Gipson-Long with an opposite-field, 353-foot (103.0 mph EV) three-run shot that clanged off of the foul pole. He also reached on a fielder’s choice in the sixth inning and swiped his first base of the season on the back end of a double steal with Jeff McNeil. For the season, the 29-year-old backstop is now hitting .229/.291/.354 with five dingers and 29 RBI.
