NEW YORK (AP) — A.J. Ewing gave the Mets just the offensive jolt they were looking for throughout his impressive major league debut, and Freddy Peralta pitched six effective innings Tuesday night in New York's 10-2 victory over the sloppy Detroit Tigers.
Mets catcher Francisco Alvarez doubled in the fourth and scored on Carson Benge's tiebreaking single, but was removed in the sixth after hitting a foul ball. Late in the game, the Mets announced Alvarez has a right knee injury and will undergo imaging Wednesday.
New York, which entered with the worst record in the majors at 15-25, is already missing three injured regulars: shortstop Francisco Lindor, first baseman Jorge Polanco and center fielder Luis Robert Jr.
The latter's absence is one reason the 21-year-old Ewing was called up Tuesday after only 12 games at Triple-A Syracuse and 58 games of experience above High-A ball.
The speedy Ewing laced an RBI triple in the seventh for his first career hit, becoming the first Mets player with a triple in his big league debut. He also walked three times, scored twice, stole a base and flied out to the center-field warning track.
Peralta (3-3) gave up a leadoff homer to Dillon Dingler in the second and a sacrifice fly to later in the inning that gave Detroit a 2-0 lead. But the right-hander worked out of trouble a couple of times and made a critical defensive play, cutting down at home plate to end the fifth after backing up a throw from the outfield that got past third base.
