DETROIT -- Sandy Alderson met with Terry Collins after Saturday's game, trying to come up with answers (and also, reportedly, scolding him for not challenging the final play).
Now, the Mets try to avoid getting swept when they send Jacob deGrom to the mound on Sunday for a 1:10 p.m. ET game at Comerica Park.
DeGrom (7-5, 2.41) opposes right-hander Anibal Sanchez (6-11, 6.26).
DeGrom has produced a scoreless outing in three of his last four starts. He has a 1.54 ERA in seven starts since June 25.
The Mets (56-54) remained nine games behind the Washington Nationals in the division.
