A.J. Ewing Hits 1st Big League Home Run as Mets Sweep Tigers at Citi Field
- On Thursday, the New York Mets completed a three-game sweep of the Detroit Tigers with a 9-4 win at Citi Field. Rookie A.J. Ewing sparked the comeback by hitting his first major league home run, a 405-foot solo shot off Keider Montero in the third inning.
- Trailing 3-1 through three innings, the Mets relied on Nolan McLean to stabilize the game. McLean pitched seven innings, ending a six-start winless streak despite surrendering a three-run homer to Gage Workman in the first.
- Brett Baty hit a two-run homer in the fourth inning, tying the game at 3-3. Juan Soto then laced a tie-breaking RBI single in the fifth before adding a late homer, while Hayden Senger contributed a safety squeeze in the sixth.
- Since his Tuesday promotion, Ewing has recorded three hits and four walks against the Tigers. The rookie outfielder elevated his OPS to 1.767 in 10 plate appearances, establishing himself as an immediate offensive spark.
- Tigers RHP Ty Madden faces the Toronto Blue Jays and RHP Trey Yesavage on Friday at home. The Mets prepare for the Subway Series against the New York Yankees, with RHP Clay Holmes scheduled to pitch.
