Diamondbacks-Tigers: Probables, Torkelson returns to the Valley

The Arizona Diamondbacks embark on a potential “chew on rocks” three-game series against the Detroit Tigers starting Friday at Chase Field. That's how manager Torey Lovullo put it with Detroit's pitching staff being the strength of the team with the eighth-best ERA in Major League Baseball at 3.38. On the flip side, the Tigers have not scored in their last two games entering the slate. This matchup brings a series of returnees to the Valley, including Arizona State Sun Devils superstar and 2020 No. 1 overall pick Spencer Torkelson. The first baseman's numbers this season are down (.625 OPS), but he has heated up lately with hits in nine of his last 10 games. RELATED STORIES Diamondbacks' Kevin
