Torkelson gave the Tigers an early advantage in this one, winning a 10-pitch battle against Jake Irvin by clobbering a 428-foot (104.7 mph EV) three-run shot in the top half of the first inning. That would be his lone hit in four at-bats on the night. For the season, the 25-year-old slugger is now hitting .234/.335/.492 with 19 long balls and 55 RBI.

Báez has shouldered a heavy workload for the Tigers this season and made a couple of rare gaffes in the field on Thursday evening, so manager A.J. Hinch will give him a breather to reset. Zach McKinstry will slide over and cover shortstop and bat sixth for the Tigers against Guardians’ right-hander Slade Cecconi.

Olson is activated and will start Friday’s game against the Guardians. The 25-year-old will be making his first appearance sins May 17, but he’s been an effective option when healthy with a 2.96 ERA through 48 2/3 innings over nine starts.

There haven’t been any rumblings about any sort of injury for Hoskins, but this is the second time that he has found himself on the pine in the team’s last four ballgames. Jake Bauers will start in his place at first base and bat seventh against Marlins’ right-hander Sandy Alcantara.

Busch homered in each of his first two at-bats off Miles Mikolas as the Cubs set a franchise record with eight long balls. Seven of them were hit in the first three innings and Busch’s first two were absolutely crushed. They combined to travel 836 feet and each came against fastballs that were grooved right down the middle. Then, he hit a cheapie in the seventh inning off John King, but never got another plate appearance for a chance at what would’ve been a historic fourth homer. All four of his batted balls were hit at least 103 mph and he’s quietly been one of the best hitters in the National League to this point with 19 home runs, 59 RBI, and a .919 OPS. Overall, this has been an incredible breakout season for the 27-year-old first baseman.
