Cleveland — Flush it and move on.
That was Spencer Torkelson's advice after the Tigers left 12 runners on base in a 2-0 loss Tuesday night. Advice heeded.
In fact, they flipped the script with the first three batters Wednesday.
Against right-hander Peyton Battenfield, Zach McKinstry smacked a single on the first pitch of the game and advanced to second on a passed ball. Javier Báez followed with a single (1-for-1 with runners in scoring position).
McKinstry stopped at third but scored a few pitches later on a ground ball by Riley Greene.
