Mets Get Win, Extend Streak to 4
The New York Mets trumped the Detroit Tigers, 9-2, at Tiger Stadium. New York right fielder Tony Tarasco was named player of the game for his performance. He was 3 for 4 with 3 singles and 2 walks. He scored 2 times. Zane Smith got the win, improving to 1-1. He pitched 7.2 innings, giving up 7 hits and 2 runs, while striking out 2 and walking 2. With their winning streak at 4, the Mets have raced to a strong start this season.

New York used the clutch hitting of Sammy Sosa to capture the win. The center fielder drilled a bases-clearing double in the top of the second inning to give the Mets the lead, 6-0. For the game, Sosa had 1 single and 1 double in 4 at-bats.

"We didn't put up much resistance," said losing manager Julio Izquierdo.
