Mets Hitters Continue To Eviscerate The Detroit Tigers Pitchers


New York Mets Jose Reyes Shortstop

DETROIT (AP) — Scott Hairston launched a bases-loaded triple and Ronny Paulino contributed four hits as part of another offensive barrage by the New York Mets, who beat the Detroit Tigers 16-9 on Wednesday night.

The Mets set a team record by scoring 52 runs in a four-game span, STATS LLC said. They have 69 hits during their spree.

Tigers utilityman Don Kelly got the final out, becoming the first Detroit position player to pitch since 2000. Smiling and laughing, Justin Verlander high-fived Kelly in the dugout — now the Detroit ace will try to stop the Mets on Thursday afternoon.

Miguel Cabrera hit two of Detroit's five homers. The Mets romped despite not hitting any home runs.

Winner Chris Capuano (7-7) went five-plus innings, giving up five runs and six hits. An apparent mixup later left reliever Tim Byrdak being summoned, even though he wasn't warming up — he scrambled to grab his glove off a bullpen shelf, gave up a two-run homer to the only batter he faced, and stormed into the dugout.

Phil Coke (1-8) allowed seven earned and 10 hits in four-plus innings.

A night after New York hit two grand slams, Hairston cleared the bases a different way in the first inning with a flyball to right-center that fell in to give the Mets a 4-0 lead.

The Mets scored at least 14 runs for the third time in four games, including Tuesday night's 14-3 victory over Detroit. It was another football score Wednesday.

The Mets scored 50 runs in four games from June 12-15, 1990, according to STATS. It was the first time since 2007 a team won despite being outhomered by at least five, according to STATS — Tampa Bay beat the Orioles 15-8 on Aug. 28 of that year, despite hitting only one home run to Baltimore's six.

The Tigers fell into a virtual tie for first place in the AL Central with Cleveland.

Paulino was hitting in the cleanup spot for the first time this season. Manager Terry Collins said he didn't want to put Jason Bay there because he's hitting well lately elsewhere in the lineup. Bay, batting one spot behind Paulino, had a single and four walks.

Jose Reyes was again a catalyst for the Mets. He led off the first with a single and took second when Cabrera mishandled a pickoff throw for an error. Reyes stole third — his 30th steal of the season — and scored on a wild pitch by Coke that bounced over the screen behind the plate.

New York loaded the bases later in the inning, and Hairston drove in three more runs with his triple.

Angel Pagan made it 5-0 with an RBI single in the third, his second straight hit to start the game after reaching base in all five plate appearances Tuesday night.

Pagan's streak of reaching base ended at seven. Reyes hit into a double play in the fourth after a second-inning single extended his streak of reaching base to eight plate appearances.

Ryan Raburn hit a solo homer for Detroit in the third, and Cabrera added another in the fourth.

New York answered with three more runs in the fifth. Paulino's RBI double knocked Coke out of the game. Ryan Perry came on in relief and allowed a run-scoring single to Bay — and another run came home on that play on an error by Austin Jackson in center field.

Cabrera made it 8-5 with a three-run homer in the sixth, a 445-foot shot that reached the second level of ivy beyond the fence in left-center. It was his 17th homer of the season, and Jhonny Peralta hit his 13th of the year later that inning to pull the Tigers within two.

Daniel Murphy hit a bases-loaded single in the seventh, scoring two more runs to make it 10-6. Dirks had a pinch-hit homer in the bottom of the inning with a runner on, making it 10-8.

The Mets answered with four insurance runs, all with two out in the eighth. Pagan hit an RBI double, Murphy singled home two more runs, and Ruben Tejada added an RBI single.

Pagan's two-run double in the ninth made it 16-9.

NOTESS: Mets reliever Bobby Parnell had a pitch clocked at 103 miles per hour on the stadium scoreboard in the seventh. ... The Tigers recalled LHP Brad Thomas (left elbow inflammation) from his rehabilitation assignment with Triple-A Toledo, but he remains on the disabled list. ... Paulino became the sixth Met to hit cleanup this season.

When it comes to taking out a loan, you should know they are not all the same. There are many types of loans and the terms and conditions of a loan can vary greatly. Your debt repayment options may be managed differently in a secured loan than an unsecured loan. In the event of an extended financial hardship, you may not be eligible to have certain types of loans eliminated through bankruptcy.

Democratic Lawmakers May Proclaim Debt Ceiling Unconstitutional As A Last Ditch Effort To Avert Default


constitution

With the date for government default quickly approaching, some Democratic lawmakers are trying a novel argument to circumvent congressional Republicans — that the debt ceiling is unconstitutional — The Huffington Post reports.

Democrats are looking to calm the markets' nerves over the stalled deficit reduction and debt ceiling talks.

They are also signaling to Republicans that they have an 11th-hour solution to the debt limit crisis, in hopes of bringing them back to the negotiating table to reach a mutually amenable agreement.

"By declaring the debt ceiling unconstitutional, the White House could continue to meet its financial obligations, leaving Tea Party-backed Republicans in the difficult position of arguing against the plain wording of the Constitution," HuffPo says. 

The Democrats' argument hinges on the 14th Amendment, which states: "The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned."

Some legal scholars like Garrett Epps have argued that this provision is absolute — and that President Barack Obama is obligated to make good on the nation's debts regardless of Congress' inaction on the debt limit.

"I don't think, as of a couple weeks ago, when this was first raised, it was seen as a pressing option," Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE) told The Huffington Post. "But I'll tell you that it's going to get a pretty strong second look as a way of saying, 'Is there some way to save us from ourselves?'"

The move would undoubtedly face legal challenges, though it is unclear how successful plaintiffs would be at proving they have standing to challenge the President's actions.
