Launches 10th home run
Torkelson went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Thursday's 11-0 win over the Twins.
Analysis
It was a pretty typical Torkelson performance, as he struck out in his other three at-bats. The slugger had no home runs through his first 23 games of the season but has now gone deep 10 times in his last 45 contests. Torkelson figures to continue to struggle with making consistent contact, but he can still provide some fantasy value if he can maintain his power stroke.

Hits ninth home run Friday
Torkelson went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's 7-3 win over the Mariners.
Analysis
Torkelson and Kerry Carpenter hit matching two-run home runs to power the Tigers to victory. The slugging first baseman is riding a five-game hitting streak, a span in which he's gone 7-for-16 with two homers and five RBI. Torkelson is now up to nine long balls for the season to go along with a .726 OPS, and he seems to be getting back on track in June after mostly struggling through May.
