Year: 2023; Game # 30; Wednesday, May 3 (1); NYM 5 @ DET 6; boxscore; WP: Alexander; LP: Ottavino; Save: Lange; Time: 2:04; DAY; Attendance: 11,363; Record: 16-14; Standings: 2; Games up/behind: 5; L


Box Score - Game 1: Detroit Tigers 6 Mets 5 Francisco Lindor SS 1 for 2, HR, 2 RBIs, 1 run scored, 2 Ks; Tommy Pham LF 3 for 4, HR, 1 run scored, 1 RBI;  Mark Canha DH 1 for 3, HR, 1 RBI, 1 run scored, 1 walk;  Brett Baty 3B 1 for 3, 1 run scored, 1 walk; Joey Lucchesi 4 innings, 4 runs - all earned, 5 hits, 2 HRs, 1 K; Jimmy Yacabonis 3 innings, no runs, no hits, 3 Ks; Adam Ottavino (L,0-2) 1 inning, 2 runs - both earned, 2 hits, 2 Ks; 



NY Post: Adam Ottavino blows late lead to cost Mets in brutal loss to Tigers: "Jimmy Yacabonis pitched three perfect innings in relief, getting the ball to Ottavino in the eighth with the Mets ahead 5-4. But Ottavino allowed a bloop single to Matt Vierling and drilled Javier Baez with a pitch before missing with a fastball with runners on second and third that Haase smashed for the go-ahead hit. Ottavino’s blown save was the third by the Mets’ bullpen in 12 chances this season...Tommy Pham homered leading off the second and Mark Canha’s blast later in the inning pulled the Mets within 3-2. Pham snapped an 0-for-17 slump with his homer...Francisco Lindor’s two-run homer gave the Mets a 5-4 lead in the fifth against Joey Wentz."

Game 2: Detroit Tigers 8 Mets 1 Pete Alonso 1B; Daniel Vogelbach DH; Max Scherzer (L,2-2) 3.1 innings, 6 runs - all earned, 8 hits, 2 HRs, 1 walk, 3 Ks; Zach Muckenhirn 1,2 innings, no runs, 1 hit; Jose Butto 2.1 innings, 1 run - earned, 1 hit, 1 walk, 2 Ks; John Curtiss; 2/3 innings, 1 run - earned, 2 hits; 


NY Post Max Scherzer’s disastrous start adds to Mets worries after Tigers’ doubleheader sweep "In his return from a 10-game suspension, Scherzer failed to complete even four innings and got battered for six runs by an anemic lineup (which entered the day last in MLB in scoring) in the Mets’ 8-1 loss to the Tigers in the nightcap of a doubleheader at Comerica Park."

SNY.TV: Mets takeaways from Wednesday’s 8-1 loss in Game 2 to Tigers, including Max Scherzer's return "New York’s offense posted just five hits Wednesday night while leaving 14 runners on base. Following the four-game split in San Francisco, the Mets have lost three straight series against Washington, Atlanta and Detroit."


Metstradamus: Sad Max "This was the moment we’ve all been waiting for. Max Scherzer had the back issue, then he was suspended (eat rosin, Phil Cuzzi), and the Mets have had issues with starting pitchers going deep into games...this was supposed to be the oasis in the desert, relatively. Instead, the Mets are choking on sand. Scherzer went 3 and 1/3 and gave up six runs, mixing in some batting practice fastballs and hanging curve balls to match."

NY Post: Carlos Carrasco, unsung Mets lead way in doubleheader sweep of Braves. "Travis Jankowski served as a spark plug as a fill-in leadoff man in Game 1, using his speed to leg out two infield hits and score three runs, and Luis Guillorme flashed the leather at shortstop as the Mets beat the Braves 5-4...In the nightcap, Dominic Smith gave the Mets an early lead with a two-run double before Carrasco took over with eight shutout innings on the way to a 3-0 win at Citi Field."


Mets360: "In the opener, the Mets jumped on top early, plating two runs in both the first and second innings thanks to two-run singles by Alonso and Eduardo Escobar. Singles was the theme of the game for the Mets, as they did not have an extra-base hit while scoring five runs...[in the nightcap] Dominic Smith gave the Mets the early lead with a two-run double in the first inning and Pete Alonso capped the scoring with a solo homer in the sixth"

NY Post: Mets’ bats stay silent in loss as concerns grow. "...a 3-1 loss to the Brewers at Miller Park in which the Mets managed only one hit over the final four innings...Steven Matz wasn’t sharp, but he kept the Mets in the game by allowing three earned runs on nine hits and one walk over 5 ²/₃ innings. The left-hander departed with the Mets behind 3-1 in the sixth and watched Robert Gsellman record the inning’s final out...Wilson Ramos’ RBI single in the first gave the Mets their run. Robinson Cano walked on the 12th pitch of his at-bat before Conforto squibbed an infield single, setting up Ramos."

National Pastime.com: The Nationals blank the Mets at Citi Field, 1-0, on consecutive days, marking the first time in 19 years that a road opponent has recorded 1-0 victories against the same team on back-to-back days. The Cardinals last accomplished the feat in 1996 when they held the Phillies scoreless, scoring lone runs in the April 19 and 20th contests at Veterans Stadium.


NY Mets:  Mets’ shortstop agony: Tejada botches double play, too.  "Ruben Tejada got his second straight start in place of the struggling Wilmer Flores, but he wasn’t immune to the defensive woes that have plagued Flores. Tejada was unable to turn a routine double play in the first inning, leading to the game’s lone run in the Nationals’ 1-0 victory Sunday at Citi Field...Dillon Gee (0-2) set a Mets record with his 51st straight start of five innings or longer, surpassing Dwight Gooden’s mark."

NY Post: Pitching fails Mets again in walk-off loss to Rockies. "In a Coors Field classic — or maybe the opposite of that description — pinch hitter Charlie Culberson smashed a two-run, game-ending homer off Kyle Farnsworth in the ninth to bury the Mets 11-10 in front of 38,688...The Mets’ offensive stars included Daniel Murphy, who finished 4-for-6, and David Wright, who reached base four times in a 3-for-5 game...After Mejia blew a six-run lead in the fifth and put his team in an 8-6 hole, the Mets rebounded with two runs the next inning to tie the game. Young slammed an RBI double before Curtis Granderson’s second hit of the game, a run-scoring single, made it 8-8."


National Pastime.com: The Mets set the record for the longest hitless streak by a major league pitching staff to start a season when Jenrry Mejia grounds out to second, making the New York hurlers, collectively, 0-for-46 since Opening Day. The dubious mark, previously established by the 1914 St. Louis Browns, will be extended to 64 at-bats before Jacob deGrom, in his first major league plate appearance, singles off Yankee right-hander Chase Whitley.

NY Post: Tom Bombed -  Fans, Phils, lower Boo-M on Glavine. "He tossed 53 pitches through two – 25 of those were balls – as he put the Mets in a 5-0 crypt. The eight runs Glavine (L,1-4) allowed tied his career-worst effort as a Met. His ERA expanded to 7.04...Cliff Floyd smashed a second-deck solo homer to right in the fourth to extend his hitting streak to a career-high 19 games, but Philly righty Brett Myers whiffed 10 in seven innings."

NY Post: ASTACIO AWESOME AS METS BATTER ‘STROS.  "[Jeff] Bagwell crushed two homers, but [Pedro] Astacio allowed only one other hit in six solid innings of work. Astacio (5-1) cemented his status as a stopper and one of the best free-agent signings of the offseason, leading the Mets to an 11-3 victory. 'He’s healthy, no doubt about that,' Met manager Bobby Valentine said. 'I’m glad we have him. He’s pitching great.' Filling in for the injured Rey Ordonez, John Valentin gave Astacio plenty of run support. He ripped two doubles and smashed a definitive two-run homer off Houston starter Dave Mlicki (3-3), a former Met, in the fifth inning."
