Deadspin | Spencer Torkelson ties franchise record, as Tigers defeat Reds Detroit Tigers first baseman Spencer Torkelson (20) rounds third on a solo home run in the fourth inning of the MLB Interleague game between the Cincinnati Reds and the Detroit Tigers at Great American Ball Park in downtown Cincinnati on Saturday, April 25, 2026. The Reds won the second game of the series, 9-2. Hao-Yu Lee belted a pinch-hit, go-ahead two-run homer and Spencer Torkelson had three hits and homered in his fifth straight game as the visiting Detroit Tigers rallied for an 8-3 win over the Cincinnati Reds on Sunday in Cincinnati. Kerry Carpenter doubled and tripled, while Gleyber Torres added three hits, including a two-run homer for the Tigers. Detroit salvaged the series finale and won for just the third time in 15 road games since opening the season with a pair of road wins in San Diego. Torkelson matched the franchise record when he homered in the seventh, joining Marcus Thames (2008), Willie Horton (1969), Vic Wertz (1950), Hank Greenberg (1940) and Rudy York (1937) as the only Tigers to homer in five consecutive games. Nathaniel Lowe and JJ Bleday belted solo homers for Cincinnati, which fell for just the second time in nine games. The Tigers took advantage of a rare error by Cincinnati third baseman Ke’Bryan Hayes to open a four-run rally in the seventh. Gleyber Torres reached base against lefty reliever and loser Sam Moll (1-1), who surrendered the go-ahead homer to Lee to put Detroit up, 4-3. Lefty reliever Brant Hurter (3-0) pitched a perfect sixth to earn the win. The Tigers claimed a 2-0 lead in the first inning when Kerry Carpenter doubled down the right field line with two outs and the bases loaded. Cincinnati starter Rhett Lowder settled down after the first, working out of a jam in the second and allowed just the two runs on six hits, striking out seven and walking one. The Reds began their rally in the second off Detroit starter Keider Montero with Lowe’s fourth home run, with all four coming in the span of the three-game series. Two innings later, Bleday added his first homer with Cincinnati to tie the game. Cincinnati took its only lead of the game in the fifth when Ke’Bryan Hayes tripled to open the inning. After a TJ Friedl ground out on a drawn-in infield, Matt McLain doubled to left to put the Reds ahead, 3-2. Montero was charged with three runs on five hits, striking out five and walking two. The Tigers loaded the bases off reliever Brock Burke in the sixth with only one out. But Jake Rodgers struck out looking and Kevin McGonigle flew out to deep left-center, with center fielder TJ Friedl made a catch on the run in the middle of the warning track to end the inning. –Field Level Media #Deadspin #Spencer #Torkelson #ties #franchise #record #Tigers #defeat #Reds

FIFA should scrap its peace prize to avoid getting drawn into politics, Norwegian ⁠Football Association (NFF) President Lise Klaveness said on Monday, suggesting that the awarding of such prizes be left to the Nobel Institute in Oslo. ‌Led by Gianni Infantino, world football’s governing body came under fire for awarding its inaugural peace prize to ‌U.S. President Donald Trump in December at the draw ‌for ⁠the 2026 World Cup.

The FIFA peace award was seen ⁠by many as a consolation prize for Trump, who has said on numerous occasions that he should be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize and whose country will co-host this year’s ‌World Cup with Canada and Mexico.

“We (the NFF) want to see it (the FIFA peace prize) abolished. We don’t think it’s part of FIFA’s mandate to give such a prize, we ‌think we have a Nobel Institute that does that job independently already,” Klaveness told an online press briefing.

“We think it’s important for football federations, confederations and ⁠also FIFA to try to avoid situations where this arm’s-length distance to state leaders is challenged, and these prizes will typically be ‌very political if you don’t have real good instruments and experience to make them independent, with juries and criteria et cetera.

“That is full-time work, it’s so sensitive, I think from a resource angle, from a mandate angle, but most importantly from a governance angle I think it should be avoided also ‌in the future,” she said.

The 45-year-old lawyer said the NFF board would be writing a letter saying it supported calls for an investigation into the awarding of the ⁠prize by non-profit organisation FairSquare, which has alleged that Infantino and ⁠FIFA may have breached their own ethical guidelines regarding political impartiality in awarding the prize.

“There should be checks and ‌balances on these issues and this complaint from FairSquare should be treated with a transparent timeline, and that the reasoning and the conclusion should be transparent,” Klaveness said.
