DETROIT -- The ball bounced off first baseman James Loney and past second baseman Neil Walker, hopping agonizingly into right field.Another break had gone against the New York Mets -- or so it seemed.My first thought is: `Not again. Youve got to be kidding me, manager Terry Collins said.The sinking feeling was only temporary this time. After Casey McGehees grounder slipped through the right side of the infield, Detroit ran itself out of the eighth inning with a baserunning blunder, and Walkers two-run homer in the top of the ninth gave New York a 3-1 win over the Tigers on Sunday.The Mets -- victimized by back-to-back infield singles in the seventh -- managed to avoid a three-game sweep. Detroit lost for only the second time in 12 games.Weve got to hang in there, we cant get down, weve got to stay as positive as we can, Collins said. Hopefully, we start getting a few guys back and make a good run.The injury-plagued Mets had allowed Detroit to tie the game at 1 in the seventh with the help of a couple fluky infield hits. Then the Tigers put men on first and second with two outs in the eighth. McGehee slapped a grounder that deflected off Loney and into shallow right field, but J.D. Martinez stopped at third instead of coming around to score.Justin Upton, who had started the play on first, kept going toward third, leaving two Detroit runners in the vicinity of the same base. Right fielder Curtis Granderson patiently ran the ball all the way in, and Martinez was eventually tagged out in a rundown.J.D. has his back to the play, so he sees it get knocked down and hes thinking he has to stop. By that time, if he tries to start up again and go, hes out by 20 feet, Detroit manager Brad Ausmus said. Theres no blame here. Justin looked back and saw the ball got through, so hes thinking that J.D. saw the same thing. J.D. didnt.New York retook the lead when Walker went deep off Francisco Rodriguez (1-2). The Mets still trail NL East-leading Washington by nine games, but theyre very much in the thick of the race for the wild cards.Detroit trails AL Central-leading Cleveland by two games.Anibal Sanchez pitched eight impressive innings for the Tigers, and Jacob deGrom was strong for the Mets. Addison Reed (3-2) got the win in relief, and Jeurys Familia pitched the ninth for his major league-leading 39th save in 41 chances.Michael Conforto homered for the Mets in the seventh.New Yorks 1-0 lead didnt last long after Confortos drive. With runners on first and second and two outs in the bottom of the seventh, Andrew Romine hit a dribbler toward third and the Mets had no play. That was it for deGrom, who was replaced by Jerry Blevins.Pinch-hitter Ian Kinsler then hit a soft chopper that made it past the mound for another infield single, tying the game.Rodriguez hit Alejandro De Aza with a pitch to start the ninth, and Walker followed with a drive to right-center.Guys are doing a really good job of not worrying about whos hurt, whos behind them, whats going on, what their numbers say, Walker said. Theyre really focused in on each night, and thats important, especially this time of year.Sanchez allowed a run and four hits, striking out 10 with no walks.DeGrom gave up a run and seven hits in 6 2/3 innings.DOUBLING UPThe Mets hit into three double plays in the final four innings in a loss Saturday night.

CLEVELAND -- Rick Porcello is somewhat of an afterthought on Detroits deep and talented pitching staff. On Friday night, he was second to none. Porcello pitched seven sharp innings, Jhonny Peralta and Victor Martinez drove in two runs apiece and the Tigers beat the Cleveland Indians for the sixth consecutive time, winning 7-0 to extend their lead in the AL Central. Porcello (5-6) allowed five hits and was never really threatened until Carlos Santana flied out to the warning track in centre field to end the sixth. The right-hander set the tone for the Tigers, who dominated the opener of the four-game wraparound series between the divisions top two teams. "His mound presence tonight, with a packed house, on the road and a team right there with you, was the best Ive seen," Tigers manager Jim Leyland said. With their fourth straight win, the Tigers moved 2 1/2 games ahead of Cleveland, which returned from an 11-game road trip to just its second sellout crowd at Progressive Field this season. But more than 40,000 fans had to settle for $1 hot dogs and a postgame fireworks show as Porcello overpowered the Indians. Ramon Santiago had a two-run single in the second inning off an ineffective Justin Masterson (10-7), who allowed six runs and seven hits in 4 2-3 innings. The Tigers improved to 7-2 this season against the Indians, who must figure out a way to slow down Detroit before the defending AL champs pull away. "That ballclub has a lot of fight in them," Porcello said. "At any given time they can come back and beat you no matter how big the lead is. Youve really got to make pitches throughout the game. Theres no easy outs in that lineup." About the only bright spot for Cleveland was Jason Kipnis pushing his hitting streak to 16 games. The matchup between Masterson, a probable All-Star, and Porcello seemed to favour the Indians. However, Detroits No. 5 starter, who had lost his three previous starts and is often overlooked on a staff with Justin Verlander and Max Scherzer, silenced the Indians and a sedated a huge crowd that came out to see if this Cleveland team was ready to challenge the defending division champs. At least on this night, the Tigers were too much for the Indians, who are just 18-29 against teams with winning records. Before the game, Leyland and Clevelands Terry Francona both dismissed the idea that this four-game set was critical. "I dont really pay that much attention to the standings until September," Leyland said. "If this was a four-game series in September, Id say its probably a big series but I would not say that on July 5." Porcello took a three-hitter into the sixth when Kipnis and Nick Swisher singled with one out. Porccello could have ended the inning with a double play, but his throw to second was high, allowing Michael Brantley to reach on a fielders choice.dddddddddddd Santana followed with a drive to deep centre that Austin Jackson ran down a few feet short of the wall, ending Clevelands best threat off Porcello. "He worked ahead," Francona said of Porcello, who won for the first time since June 14. "He threw strike one. He reached back for extra velocity when he needed it." Peraltas two-run double in the fifth put Detroit ahead 6-0 and chased Masterson, who had pitched his major league-leading third shutout in his previous start against the White Sox. Andy Dirks walked with one out and moved up on a wild pitch before Masterson retired Miguel Cabrera on a grounder for the second out. However, Prince Fielder drew a four-pitch walk and Martinez followed with an RBI single to make it 4-0. Up came Peralta, who had gone just 1 of 17 (.059) with zero RBIs in his career against Masterson. But he lined a 1-0 pitch into the gap in right-centre to easily score Fielder and Martinez, the Tigers two slowest runners. Cabreras RBI single put the Tigers up 3-0 and continued Detroits trend of quickly jumping ahead of the Indians this season. Dirks doubled leading off and Cabrera followed by grounding a hard single under diving shortstop Asdrubal Cabreras glove and into left-centre for his 86th RBI. Through nine games so far in 2013, the Tigers have outscored the Indians 32-10 in the first four innings. Santiago, who entered the series batting just .169, helped Detroit get off to a fast start. The Tigers loaded the bases in the second on a fielders choice, single and two-out walk before Santiago, with just one hit in 14 career at-bats against Masterson, lined the first pitch to centre, scoring Peralta and Don Kelly. "When the sinker is up, anyone can hit it," Masterson said. "It doesnt matter what the numbers are." NOTES: Kipnis also has reached base safely in 36 games in a row. ... Following the game, the Tigers activated RHP Anibal Sanchez (strained shoulder) to start Saturday. Hell face Indians RHP Carlos Carrasco, who was recalled from Triple-A Columbus. To make room for Sanchez, the Tigers optioned LHP Jose Alvarez to Triple-A Toledo. The Indians sent down RHP Joe Martinez. ... Indians RHP Zach McAllister threw a 60-pitch bullpen session, an important step in his recovery from a sprained right middle finger. "This was a big one for me," said McAllister, who plans to throw breaking balls off flat ground Saturday and pitch three innings to minor leaguers Monday. ... Santiago was 0 for 13 with runners in scoring position before his second-inning single. ' ' '
