"DETROIT -- Rookie Nolan McLean continued his brilliant start to his MLB career, retiring his final 14 batters Tuesday night to lead the Mets to a 12-5 victory over the Detroit Tigers. McLean became the first Mets pitcher to go 4-0 in his first four starts, and just the first pitcher in the majors to do so since Chase Anderson, who started 5-0 with the Arizona Diamondbacks in 2014."
"Pete Alonso homered twice, Juan Soto went deep again and Luis Torrens launched a three-run homer for the Mets, who won the series opener 10-8 on Monday. New York moved five games ahead of Cincinnati for the final National League wild card. The AL Central-leading Tigers have lost seven of nine. Alonso's first homer was a 435-foot drive in the first inning that landed between the first and second row of shrubs behind the center-field wall."
Nolan McLean retired his final 14 batters and earned a 12-5 win over the Detroit Tigers, improving to 4-0 in his first four major-league starts.
