Riley Greene, Kerry Carpenter power Tigers past Mets to avoid sweep
Riley Greene and Kerry Carpenter delivered key hits to help the Detroit Tigers win 6-2, avoiding a sweep after losing the first two games of their series.
- On Wednesday, the Detroit Tigers beat the New York Mets 6-2 at Comerica Park to avoid a three-game sweep in the series finale.
- Facing a sweep after losing the first two games, Detroit Tigers entered the finale under pressure while New York Mets saw their wild-card lead shrink to 4½ games.
- Riley Greene provided the decisive blow when he hit a two-run single in the fifth, and Kerry Carpenter added insurance with a three-run homer in the seventh; Casey Mize earned the win with five innings allowing one run.
- Despite a late bullpen issue, the Tigers kept the New York Mets scoreless over the final three innings despite losing reliever Kyle Finnegan to right groin tightness, leaving the Mets six games behind the Philadelphia Phillies in the NL East.
- Detroit is off Thursday, then opens a three-game series with the Chicago White Sox at Comerica Park Friday, while the Mets continue their nine-game road trip starting in Cincinnati Friday with David Peterson pitching.
