Detroit Tigers takeaways from opening series: What Spencer Torkelson changed — and why it should last

The Detroit Tigers lost all three games to the Los Angeles Dodgers, but there's more to the story. Evan Petzold and Mark Gorosh dive into the team's culture, Spencer Torkelson's resurgence and other key takeaways from the first series of the 2025 season. They also preview the upcoming matchups against the Seattle Mariners and Chicago White Sox, including Jackson Jobe's first MLB start. Tigers radio analyst Bobby Scales — a former MLB player and executive — joins the "Days of Roar" podcast to discuss Ryan Kreidler in center field, Kerry Carpenter's usage against left-handed pitchers, and how Torkelson rediscovered the best version of himself at the plate. With the Tigers on the West Coast, Evan took a trip to Triple-A Toledo to talk with Jason Foley, Jace Jung and Justyn-Henry Malloy. Follow Evan on X/Twitter here. Read Evan's most recent work here
