Greene, Carpenter Lift Tigers Over Mets 6-2 to Avoid Sweep

Detroit capitalized on late chances to stop New York's sweep bid.

Overview

  • Riley Greene broke a 1-1 tie with a two-run single in the fifth after Gregory Soto's wild pitch moved two runners into scoring position.
  • Kerry Carpenter added insurance with a three-run homer in the seventh off Ryan Helsley after walking and scoring earlier.
  • Casey Mize earned the win with five innings of one-run ball, allowing five hits with three strikeouts and no walks.
  • Detroit juggled its bullpen when Kyle Finnegan left warmups with reported right-groin tightness and exited with a trainer.
  • Pete Alonso had three hits, including an RBI double, as the Mets concluded a 16-game stretch at 9-7; both clubs are off Thursday before Detroit hosts the White Sox and New York visits Cincinnati.
