The New York Mets edged the Detroit Tigers 3–2 on May 13 at Citi Field in a low-scoring affair marked by offensive struggles from both sides. The Mets managed just 7 hits with a .630 OPS and struck out 12 times, yet scraped together 3 runs on 3 RBIs to secure the win despite committing an error. Detroit countered with 8 hits and a superior .713 OPS but could only convert 2 runs, striking out 10 times against Mets pitching that recorded 10 strikeouts. The Tigers' pitching was marginally sharper, posting a 3.94 ERA while allowing 7 hits, but New York's staff held firm with a 3.75 ERA despite issuing 5 walks. Both teams struggled to capitalize on scoring opportunities, with the Mets' anemic .225 batting average underscoring New York's difficulty generating offense despite the home-field advantage. The Tigers' failure to capitalize on a slightly better OPS and baserunning discipline—they drew 5 walks—proved costly in a game decided by situational hitting. The Mets' ability to win despite offensive inefficiency suggests their pitching depth may anchor their rotation moving forward.
