The Mets showed late fight, rallying to beat the Detroit Tigers on Carson Benge's first career walk-off hit in extra innings.

The Mets rallied to walk-off the Detroit Tigers 3-2 on Wednesday night at Citi Field. Here are some takeaways... - Christian Scott found himself behind early in this one, as he walked the leadoff man then Carson Benge botched a routine fly ball into a double to push two into scoring position before Riley Greene drove them home to make it a 2-0 game.

Scott did well to limit the damage there, but was forced to throw 23 pitches in the opening frame. Detroit worked Scott's count up to 44 through two innings, putting two more runners in scoring position before stranding them. He finally put together a quick inning, using a strikeout and his first groundball double-play of the season to work around another leadoff hit in the third.

A single and hit-by-pitch prolonged another inning on Scott, but he was able to get Kevin McGonigle to rollover to escape without further damage. Already at 80 pitches, Carlos Mendoza pushed the righty for a chance to get through five, but he pulled him after Greene dropped in a two out opposite-field single. Huascar Brazoban needed just two pitches before getting a lineout, closing Scott's line with just the two runs allowed on seven hits and a pair of walks while striking out five across 4.

2 innings. The 26-year-old extended his franchise record, now going 13 starts without his first big-league win. - After breaking through for 10 runs on Tuesday, the Mets' offense couldn't deliver against a well-rested Framber Valdez in his return from suspension.
