Tigers, Yankees: Spencer Torkelson doubled and tripled in his return to the majors, and the Tigers beat the Yankees 4-0 on Saturday. Torkelson, who turns 25 on Aug. 26, was batting .201 with four homers when he was demoted to Triple-A on June 2. The No. 1 overall pick in the 2020 amateur draft was called up this weekend, along with Jace Jung and Trey Sweeney — two of the Tigers’ top infield prospects. Tigers right-hander Keider Montero (4-5) struck out five in five-plus innings in his 10th career start. He allowed two hits in his third consecutive win. Tyler Holton followed Montero with three innings. Jason Foley finished the four-hitter, working around Aaron Judge’s leadoff double in the ninth. Yankees starter Carlos Rodón (13-8) surrendered four runs and seven hits in 3 1/3 innings. The Tigers took a 1-0 lead in the first on Colt Keith’s RBI single, and then added three more runs in the second. Torkelson hit a leadoff double. Rodón retired the next two batters, but Zach McKinstry hit an RBI single and Matt Vierling drew a walk. Andy Ibáñez then hit a two-run double to left. Torkelson tripled to start the sixth, but was thrown out at home while trying to advance on an errant pitch.

Pirates, Mariners: Isiah Kiner-Falefa had three hits, including a first-inning homer, and the Pirates beat the skidding Mariners 7-2 on Saturday. Rowdy Tellez and Jared Triolo also connected for the Pirates, who have won the first two games of the three-game series following a 10-game losing streak. Joey Bart added a pair of doubles. The Pirates left-hander Bailey Falter (6-7) matched a career high with eight strikeouts while allowing two runs in 5 2/3 innings. He permitted eight hits and walked none. It was the fifth consecutive loss for the Mariners, who began the day in second place in the AL West. The Pirates had to hang on in the ninth inning after the Mariners loaded the bases on a walk and two hit batters by Domingo German. David Bednar relieved and retired three straight batters for his 22nd save. Kiner-Falefa hit his first home run since he was acquired in a July 30 trade with the Blue Jays, a 406-foot drive off Luis Castillo. It also was the first time the veteran infielder led off the first with a homer. Victor Robles hit a tying RBI single for Seattle in the second, but the Pirates went ahead to stay when Tellez connected for a two-run shot in the fourth. Triolo’s solo homer in the seventh off JT Chargois lifted the Pirates to a 5-2 lead. Castillo (10-12) permitted four runs and five hits in 5 1/3 innings. He struck out six and walked three. ... Designated hitter Andrew McCutchen was placed on the 10-day injured list by the Pirates on Saturday with left knee inflammation. McCutchen was injured Friday while running the bases against the Mariners. McCutchen, 37, has an 11-game hitting streak, his longest of the season.
