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.

Almost every day, you come in and he's doing something even more impressive, or setting some new mark and doing something great,

Grisham's breakout season continued Friday when he homered for the third straight game, crushing a grand slam that created some early breathing room before the Yankees piled on late for their season-high sixth straight win, 10-2 over the White Sox. "It's what I've always dreamed about and thought I was capable of," Grisham said of his career-high 28 homers in his seventh season as a big leaguer. "To do it is a whole other thing. But no, it does not surprise me."

"Working on some things mechanically, making adjustments," Pages said of his recent success through a translator. "We obviously know how long the season is, so trying to make those adjustments in season, going through some of those ruts, and trying to make those adjustments to get better and have better at-bats."

Four homers gave David Peterson all the cushion he needed, as the New York Mets cruised to an 8-1 win over the Washington Nationals to open their series in the nation's capital. The All-Star southpaw continues to assert himself as the Mets' most valuable pitcher, going eight innings while allowing just one run on four hits with 10 strikeouts and a walk.
