DETROIT -- The ball bounced off first baseman James Loney and past second baseman Neil Walker, hopping agonizingly into right field.Another break had gone against the New York Mets -- or so it seemed.My first thought is: `Not again. Youve got to be kidding me, manager Terry Collins said.The sinking feeling was only temporary this time. After Casey McGehees grounder slipped through the right side of the infield, Detroit ran itself out of the eighth inning with a baserunning blunder, and Walkers two-run homer in the top of the ninth gave New York a 3-1 win over the Tigers on Sunday.The Mets -- victimized by back-to-back infield singles in the seventh -- managed to avoid a three-game sweep. Detroit lost for only the second time in 12 games.Weve got to hang in there, we cant get down, weve got to stay as positive as we can, Collins said. Hopefully, we start getting a few guys back and make a good run.The injury-plagued Mets had allowed Detroit to tie the game at 1 in the seventh with the help of a couple fluky infield hits. Then the Tigers put men on first and second with two outs in the eighth. McGehee slapped a grounder that deflected off Loney and into shallow right field, but J.D. Martinez stopped at third instead of coming around to score.Justin Upton, who had started the play on first, kept going toward third, leaving two Detroit runners in the vicinity of the same base. Right fielder Curtis Granderson patiently ran the ball all the way in, and Martinez was eventually tagged out in a rundown.J.D. has his back to the play, so he sees it get knocked down and hes thinking he has to stop. By that time, if he tries to start up again and go, hes out by 20 feet, Detroit manager Brad Ausmus said. Theres no blame here. Justin looked back and saw the ball got through, so hes thinking that J.D. saw the same thing. J.D. didnt.New York retook the lead when Walker went deep off Francisco Rodriguez (1-2). The Mets still trail NL East-leading Washington by nine games, but theyre very much in the thick of the race for the wild cards.Detroit trails AL Central-leading Cleveland by two games.Anibal Sanchez pitched eight impressive innings for the Tigers, and Jacob deGrom was strong for the Mets. Addison Reed (3-2) got the win in relief, and Jeurys Familia pitched the ninth for his major league-leading 39th save in 41 chances.Michael Conforto homered for the Mets in the seventh.New Yorks 1-0 lead didnt last long after Confortos drive. With runners on first and second and two outs in the bottom of the seventh, Andrew Romine hit a dribbler toward third and the Mets had no play. That was it for deGrom, who was replaced by Jerry Blevins.Pinch-hitter Ian Kinsler then hit a soft chopper that made it past the mound for another infield single, tying the game.Rodriguez hit Alejandro De Aza with a pitch to start the ninth, and Walker followed with a drive to right-center.Guys are doing a really good job of not worrying about whos hurt, whos behind them, whats going on, what their numbers say, Walker said. Theyre really focused in on each night, and thats important, especially this time of year.Sanchez allowed a run and four hits, striking out 10 with no walks.DeGrom gave up a run and seven hits in 6 2/3 innings.DOUBLING UPThe Mets hit into three double plays in the final four innings in a loss Saturday night. On Sunday, it was Detroits turn to waste scoring chances. The Tigers grounded into double plays in the first, second and fourth.TRAINERS ROOMMets: SS Jose Reyes (left oblique strain) is scheduled to play in a simulated game Monday in Florida. ... De Aza had a wrap around his right wrist after the game but said he was OK and expects to be ready for his teams next game.UP NEXTMets: New York has Monday off before hosting Arizona for three games. Steven Matz (8-8) starts for the Mets on Tuesday night against Zack Greinke (10-3).Tigers: Detroit heads out west for a three-game series with the Mariners. Rookie Michael Fulmer (9-2) takes the mound for the Tigers against Hisashi Iwakuma (12-7) on Monday night.---Follow Noah Trister at www.Twitter.com/noahtristerJoe Namath Youth Jersey .

Jachai Polite Womens Jersey .J. -- Marty Brodeur beat the Pittsburgh Penguins yet again.BALTIMORE -- Just two weeks ago, the Baltimore Ravens had lost four straight and were working on their second offensive coordinator of the season.Now theyre alone in first place in the AFC North and coming off their most lopsided victory in two years.After the Ravens (5-4) used an impressive second half to roll past the winless Cleveland Browns 28-7 on Thursday night, Joe Flacco took stock of the situation and smiled.It feels good. Its Thursday night and weve got the weekend off, the quarterback said. Its a lot of fun being part of winning football. Its one of the toughest things to do in the world, to win a game in the NFL.Oh, dont the Browns know it. Cleveland has lost the first 10 games of a season for the first time since it joined the league in 1950, and inched closer to joining the 2008 Detroit Lions as the only 0-16 team in NFL history.Theyre down, but the Browns havent quit.There are better days ahead for this group, said tight end Seth DeValve, who scored Clevelands lone touchdown. We are not flinching and we are not giving up. These guys are working hard every day to get a win.DeValves first NFL touchdown gave the Browns a 7-3 lead in the second quarter, but Flacco threw two touchdown passes in the third and another with 6:21 left to provide the Ravens with their second successive win.It was the first time this season the Ravens were involved in a game decided by more than eight points. It was also their most lopsided win since a 20-10 victory over Cleveland on Dec. 28, 2014.Some things we learned about the Ravens and Browns:SUGGS IS BACK: Despite tearing his left biceps last month, Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs continues to excel.After Cleveland inserted backup quarterback Josh McCown midway through the third quarter, Suggs beat his man and hit McCowns arm as he threw, setting up an interception by teammate Jerraud Powers at the Browns 40.In the fourth quarter, Suggs stripped McCown to force a fumble recovered by Baltimore.Ive been around for 14 years, but I still feel young, Suggs said. I have played with a torn bicceps before.dddddddddddd I have come back from a torn Achilles before. So I guess its just in my DNA. My mom and dad did something special when they made me.CONFIDENT IN KESSLER: Though rookie Cody Kessler was replaced in the third quarter by McCown, Browns coach Hue Jackson said Kessler would start in Clevelands next game against Pittsburgh in 10 days.Absolutely, Im still going to play (Kessler), Jackson said. Hes a young player and Im going to put him back out there.Jackson said he removed Kessler because I wanted a spark.So even though theyre winless, the Browns dont have a quarterback controversy on their hands.FINDING THE END ZONE: On a night when Ravens receiver Steve Smith caught his 78th career touchdown pass, teammate Breshad Perriman was overjoyed with his first.The second-year receiver, who missed all of his rookie season after sustaining a knee injury on his first day of training camp, hauled in Flaccos 27-yard pass with 6:21 to play.Referees reviewed the catch, but in the end determined Perriman maintained control of the ball as he rolled over in the end zone.It was a complete blessing, Perriman said. (Ive been) working for it for a long time, and it finally came today. (Its) just how long it took to get here and all the work you had to put in. All the stuff Ive been through.SECOND THOUGHTS: The Browns inability to contain the opposition after halftime -- a season-long issue -- resurfaced again.The Ravens outscored them 22-0 after the break. That gives Clevelands foes a 157-51 edge in the second half and overtime this season.Jackson cant explain it, and his players are getting tired of addressing the problem.This is several games now where we had the lead in the first half and we werent able to finish them off in the second half, offensive tackle Joe Thomas said. Thats something we will look at here over the next 10 days.---For more NFL coverage: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
