LUIS TORRENS NEWS

Reaches double digits in homers Torrens went 1-for-3 with his 10th home run of the season and a walk Sunday against the Angels.

Impact Torrens got his fourth straight start as the designated hitter and took Patrick Sandoval deep to center field in the fourth inning, giving the Mariners a 3-0 cushion. The 25-year-old Torrens has carved out consistent playing time in recent weeks and is hitting .277 with three round trippers in 11 games since the start of July.

Getting regular reps at DH Torrens will serve as the Mariners' designated hitter and will bat fifth Sunday against the Angels.

Impact Torrens has lost work behind the plate of late to rookie Cal Raleigh, but the former still appears to be locked into solid playing time as the Mariners' primary option at DH. He'll pick up a seventh straight start Sunday, with six of those assignments coming as a DH. With a .915 OPS through 10 games in July, Torrens should stick in the lineup until his bat cools down.

Surging going into All-Star break Torrens, who was out of the lineup Sunday against the Angels and went 2-for-3 with an RBI triple and a walk in Saturday's win, hit .350 (7-for-20) with the three-bagger, two home r...

Impact The hot-hitting backstop reached safely in all seven of those contests as well, and factoring in Saturday's three-bagger and the pair of round trippers he belted during that stretch, he's now laced exactly half of his 32 hits this season for extra bases. That's helped lead to a .462 slugging percentage, a particularly appealing figure for a part-time catcher.

Slams ninth home run Torrens went 1-for-3 with a three-run homer in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Rangers.

Impact Torrens slammed a three-run bomb in the fourth inning off Mike Foltynewicz to open up a 3-0 lead. The catcher has hit home runs in back-to-back games, although he is batting just .179 over his last eight games. On the season, he is slashing .209/.267/.455 with nine long balls and 19 RBI in 146 plate appearances. The 25-year-old is in a fairly even timeshare behind the plate with Tom Murphy.

Launches home run Friday Torrens went 1-for-3 with a solo homer and two walks in Friday's 5-4 extra-innings win over the Rangers

Impact Torrens was hitless in his first three at-bats of the evening but came through with a clutch home run in the eighth to tie the game up at three apiece. The 25-year-old also drew multiple walks in a game for the first time all year, which comes as a bit of a surprise considering the fact that he's walking just 6.4 percent of the time. On the season he's slashing .205/.259/.432 with eight homers, 16 RBI, 16 runs scored and a 9:36 BB:K over 143 plate appearances.

Swats homer in win Torrens went 1-for-3 with a solo homer, a walk and two runs scored in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Rays.

Impact Torrens was the only Mariner to get to Shane McClanahan on Sunday when he began the third by taking the rookie left-hander deep to center for an early 1-0 lead. The 25-year-old has three homers in five games since returning from Triple-A Tacoma on June 15. For the season, he's slashing .217/.257/.415 with five long balls, 11 RBI and 12 runs scored. Torrens currently appears to be in a timeshare behind the plate with Tom Murphy but could eventually gain an edge if he continues his hitting surge moving forward.

Impact Torrens has now rapped out two hits in each of his last three starts, slugging a pair of home runs during that stretch as well. If the 25-year-old continues to serve as a surprising source of offense, he could eventually make at least some additional inroads into fellow backstop Tom Murphy's playing time.
