Detroit Tigers at New York Mets

NEW YORK -- A.J. Ewing gave the Mets just the offensive jolt they were looking for throughout his impressive major league debut, and Freddy Peralta pitched six effective innings Tuesday night in New York's 10-2 victory over the sloppy Detroit Tigers. Mets catcher Francisco Alvarez doubled in the fourth and scored on Carson Benge's tiebreaking single, but was removed in the sixth after hitting a foul ball. Late in the game, the Mets announced Alvarez has a right knee injury and will undergo imaging Wednesday. New York, which entered with the worst record in the majors at 15-25, is already missing three injured regulars: shortstop Francisco Lindor, first baseman Jorge Polanco and center fielder Luis Robert Jr.
