Detroit's Gleyber Torres Secures 500th Career RBI with Walk-Off Walk

On August 20th, 2025, the Detroit Tigers and the Houston Astros were locked in a pitchers' duel that went into extra innings. Both starting pitchers, Tarik Skubal for the Tigers and Hunter Brown for the Astros, were dominant, keeping the game scoreless heading into the 10th inning.

With the bases loaded and two outs in the bottom of the 10th, the Tigers' All-Star second baseman Gleyber Torres stepped up to the plate. On a full count, Torres drew a walk-off walk, securing a 1-0 victory for the Tigers and reaching a significant career milestone in the process.

The 28-year-old Torres, who has been a key offensive contributor for the Tigers this season, recorded his 500th career RBI with the game-winning walk. This accomplishment is a testament to Torres' longevity and consistent production at the plate over his eight-year MLB career.

The Tigers' $15 million free agent signing has been having an impressive year, earning an All-Star selection as the starting second baseman. Despite a slight slump since the All-Star break, Torres remains one of the team's top offensive threats, ranking third in RBIs, second in hits, third in runs, and first in walks.

With 34 games left in the season, Torres is now just 22 hits away from reaching the 1,000-hit milestone, which he could potentially achieve before the end of the 2025 campaign. The Tigers' success this season has been bolstered by Torres' consistent performance, and his latest milestone is a testament to his value as a core piece of the team's lineup.
