Detroit — Eric Haase, who had snapped his homerless streak earlier in the game, lined a two-out, two-run single to right field off All-Star reliever Adam Ottavino, sending the Tigers to a 6-5 win over the New York Mets in Game 1 of a doubleheader Wednesday afternoon at Comerica Park.
Alex Lange pitched a scoreless ninth for his fourth save of the season.
It was still wet and chilly, but the ball was flying around the old ballpark.
Haase and Javier Baez both launched their first homers of the season and staked the Tigers to a fast 4-2 lead in Game 1 of the doubleheader.
