NEW YORK (AP) --
NEW YORK (AP) - Angel Pagan finished a homer shy of the cycle
and had four RBIs, David Wright reached base five times and scored
three runs, and the New York Mets routed the Detroit Tigers 14-6 on
a rainy Tuesday night.
Ike Davis had two hits and two RBIs in the third inning as the
Mets batted around for seven runs, getting help from Jay Sborz, who
became the first pitcher in eight years to hit the first two
batters with pitches in his big league debut.
Sborz was pitching in relief of Justin Verlander (8-5), who did
not return to the mound after a 58-minute rain delay that began
after he gave up an RBI double to Jason Bay in the third inning
that gave New York a 3-0 lead.
