LUIS TORRENS NEWS

Homers Tuesday Torrens went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and two runs scored in Tuesday's 10-0 win over the Twins.

Impact Torrens came out swinging in his first time in the lineup since May 18 after he was recalled from Triple-A Tacoma on Monday. The 25-year-old singled his first time up then later homered to lead off the seventh inning. He was slashing just .178/.219/.300 with two homers, six RBI and seven runs scored before being sent down May 20 but is off to a good start in his second stint with the big league club. Torrens will still be sharing time behind the dish with Tom Murphy and Jose Godoy, which makes it difficult to trust him in any lineup.

Breaks out for three-RBI day Torrens went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a double, three RBI and two runs scored in Wednesday's 7-5 loss to the Astros.

Impact Torrens was involved in the Mariners' first four runs of the game. He led off the third by taking the first pitch he saw deep to center field for a solo home run, the second long ball of his young career. He then came back up to the plate the following inning with two men on after back-to-back walks by Zack Greinke and roped a double down the left-field line to score both runners and give the Mariners their first lead of the evening. He would come around to score the next at-bat after J.P. Crawford followed him up with a double of his own. Wednesday was Torrens' first hits since April 15 and his first RBI since April 2. He's struggled mightily swinging that bat, slashing .190/.242/.293 with just four RBI, five runs scored and a 3:15 BB:K.
