A.J. Ewing's strong debut helps spark Mets' offense in 10-2 win over Tigers
Led by youngster A.J. Ewing, the Mets' offense busted out as they defeated the Tigers on Tuesday night at Citi Field.
The Mets opened the series with a 10-2 win over the Detroit Tigers on Tuesday night at Citi Field. Here are some takeaways... - The Mets' offense struggled to get much of anything going during the final three games of their roadtrip in Arizona, but they generated plenty of early traffic against Jack Flaherty .
They were able to chase the struggling right-hander from the ballgame after just 3. 2 innings as they scratched runs across in the second, third, and fourth. - New York took advantage of some shoddy Detroit defense to put this one away in the sixth, seven, and eighth.
- There were some concerns that the Mets rushed A. J. Ewing to the big-league level, but the youngster certainly looked the part in his debut.
He reached three different times across four plate appearances, drawing three walks (the last of which was with the bases loaded), stealing a base, tripling home a run, and scoring two. Ewing ripped the triple at 104. 1 mph to right and went home-to-third in 11.
