This is the third straight interleague road game for New York, riding a 4-7 run with a struggling offense. The Mets rank #28 in baseball in runs scored, #24 in on-base percentage. Mets' starter Noah Syndergaard again struggled with his command as his winless drought reached four starts when he gave up two earned runs over six innings against Colorado. He has thrown a combined 232 pitches in the last two outings. The Mets are just 1-10 following a victory. He faces a Detroit offense that is seventh in scoring, eighth in on-base percentage and fifth in slugging. Tigers' first baseman Miguel Cabrera is in the midst of a torrid stretch with six home runs and 13 RBI over the past eight games. Detroit righty Justin Verlander (11-6, 3.54 ERA) has permitted a combined 10 runs while going 4-0 over his last six starts. The Tigers are 86-35 in interleague home games, plus 17-4 at home against a team with a winning road record. Play Detroit.
