Mets Beat Tigers 10-2 as Umpire Collision Tags Colt Keith Out at Home

10 articles · Updated · Fox News · May 13
  • Francisco Alvarez tagged Colt Keith out at home in the fifth inning after third-base umpire Rob Drake collided with the Tigers runner and slowed his dash from third.
  • That play ended a Detroit rally with New York leading 3-2, preserving the Mets' edge at a moment when Keith had already advanced on an errant throw.
  • New York then broke the game open with 3 runs in the sixth and 3 more in the eighth, while the bullpen kept Detroit scoreless the rest of the way.
  • The 10-2 win offered a rare lift for a Mets club still just 16-25 despite a league-high $334.8 million payroll, though it has won 6 of its last 10 after a 12-game skid.
