New York 7, Detroit 3: Pelfrey, Tigers bullpen face struggles

At Port St. Lucie, Fla.

What happened: Anthony Gose led off with a triple and scored on an RBI single by Casey McGehee in the first inning for the Detroit Tigers. The New York Mets then scored three runs in the third inning, helped by a throwing error by Nick Castellanos and two walks by starter Mike Pelfrey. … Castellanos left in the fourth inning due to back tightness. A workout Friday, followed by a long bus ride to Viera, Fla. on Saturday apparently led to the back tightness. Castellanos said he received treatment Sunday and again today, but felt the tightness on his second swing and again on the error in the field.
