Detroit Tigers vs New York Mets - FULL GAME HIGHLIGHTS 🔥 May 12, 2026 MLB Season

One point six to E.R.A. Here's the 21 year old Kevin McGonigal leading off. He was the A.L. rookie of the month for April. It takes for Peralta's first fastball for a strike. And we're underway. Ninth pitch of this opening at bat. And McGonigal hits it on the ground. Simeon on the backhand. Can't field it cleanly. And McGonigal is aboard to start the night. Peralta looking for his first out. And he gets it. Three straight fastballs. And he shuts down Veerling. For the first out of the night. And you know it's ball four. Doesn't that change the way you approach second base? You better be coached up that you hustle all the time. Don't take anything for granted. Now the green pops up. Two and two to bench. And Crescent. It's one off the fist to shortstop. And McGonigal grabs that little pop up for the first out. One and one to Soto with Bichette at first. And he smacks one of the air to right center. Circling it is Veerling. And he gets there for the two inning. Game five against the Dodgers two years ago. And he takes a fastball for a strike three. And Flaherty gets through the opening inning around a walk. 0-2 coming. And he hooks one of the air to deep left field. Back goes Ewing. Looks up and it's out of here. A home run for Dylan Diggler. His seventh of the year. Gives the Tigers the early lead. It's 1-0 Detroit. And Kerry Carpenter went on the injured list. In a pinch hit home run Sunday to help the Tigers. Wendley carves this one down the left field. Lying for the third straight hit. Soto plays it off at the line. It's a double for Gage Workman. And the Tigers have runners at second and third with nobody out. Minor leagues a couple of years ago. Bounced back last year and did 31 home runs. And he lines one to left center field. Soto coming in. He gets there to make the catch. Tagging at third is Perez. The throw by Soto to the play line. A hop. Not in time. And the Tigers lead 2-0. Workman at second. McGonigal at first with two down. And Bierling flies this one out to center. A.J. Ewan will get his first chance. Handles it fine. That retires his side. But two runs for the Tigers. One of them on a Diggler home run. It's 2-0. 1-2 to Beatty. And the breaking ball hits sharply. Bates it at the right field. Melendez pulls it at second. Beatty just beyond the reach of McKinstry. For the Mets' first hit of the night. And he's below the base. Eighth pitch of the at bat coming to Alvarez. And he lines one to run the hole. Nice backhand pick by McGonigal. And they get the out at second. But not the out at first as a run comes home. Beatty at third. 3-2 coming. And Ben pops it up. In the shallow center field. On comes Bierling. And he's got it to run the inning. And the Mets settle the situation. That's a pretty good five on the injured list. That's pulled to right field. The base hit for Soto. Bichette turns second. He'll go on to third. So Soto snaps it home for 13. Bichette and Soto with the back-to-back hits. And he takes one the other way for a base hit. And that will tie up the game. Bichette is in. Soto stops at second. Mark Pientos with the third straight man. Hit, grabs, and a run to make it 2-2. Marcus spits on that one. Soto takes off for third. And he makes it safely on the good dirt ball read. Holding it first is Pientos. For Flaherty. First and third with two out. 2-0 to Simeon with Ewing on deck. And Simeon hits one toward the hole. McGonigal on the backhand. A long throw to first base. And in time he got him. Wow. Second fine play in the hole by McGonigal. And he throws out Simeon who still runs well. Mets settle for third. What a play. Allstate good hands replay. And it was brought at the first. A fair ball. And Pientos takes it to back to retire workmen. And Alvarez drives one of the gap in left center field. That's going to go all the way back to the wall. Francisco Alvarez pulls it at second base with a one-out double. 3-2. Line the other way. Base hit from Bench. Here comes Alvarez around third. He heads for the plate. And he'll score without a throw. And the Mets grab their first lead of the night. Carson Bench with the opposite field. Single to drive and a run. And it's 3-2 New York. There goes Bench and a half swing. Soto in a run for strike three. So, Holton comes in and gets his man. But the Mets grab the lead on Bench's RBI. 1-1 to Green. And he pulls one toward the hole. That'll go through for a base hit. Keith to second. He's going to try for third. Bench with the throw to third on a hop. It gets by. Backed up by Peralta. He's got a play at the plate. And Keith is tagged out at the plate. Keith saw the ball get by Peralta. But it hit off the fence in front of the dugout. And Peralta had plenty of time to gun him down at the plate. And that's right there for strike three. And Beatty is a strikeout victim. And Holton has a 1-2, 3-5. 3-2 New York. Lead debut there. Ground ball to short. Backhanded by Bichette. Goes across his body. Gets him by a stride. Side retired. 1-2, 3 inning for Peralta. There he goes. Thrown by Dingler. Not in time. And A.J. Ewing has his first major league stolen base. And he stole it easily. 3-2 to Terrenz. And it's low ball four. So Terrenz works out a walk. Second in a row given up to Smith. And Banchett's one toward the middle of the diamond. McKinstry able to knock it down to save a run. But everybody's safe. Bench has his second hit of the night. And the Mets have the bases loaded for Bichette. And O'Briens with a third a chance for two. The throw to second. Goes in the right field. Ewing is in. Terrenz will score. Should have been an inning-ending double play. Instead, the Mets get two runs. And they lead it 5-2 as Gage Workman threw that ball over right field. And he gets a fastball. Hits it slowly in the first. Torkelson bobbles it. And a run will score. Had no chance to get the double play once he bobbled it. Bench comes in to score the third run of the inning. Line to center field. Coming on quickly. Vierling. And he slides to make the catch. Nicely done by Vierling. That saved a run. And it ends the bottom of the sixth inning. That's pulled down the right field line. A base hit for McGonigal. Chased by Bench. McGonigal's going to try for two. Here's the throw by Bench. Here's the second. Not in time. McGonigal beats it with a double. Lee at third. McGonigal at second.

Ground ball toward the hole. That'll go through for a base hit for Terrance. And that brings in Ewing to make it 8-2, New York. In the O.P.S.? Yes. Grounded down to first. Handled by Torkelson. And that'll end the inning. But the Mets tack on two more. The Mets now with a six-run lead. Carved down the left field line by Green. But overcomes Soto to make the running grab. One pitch. One retired in the eighth. Broken back grounder. Vientos has it. Out in second. Bichette back to first. Not in time. Harris just runs too well. 2-2 from Warren. And Workman goes down swinging on the sweeper. And Warren puts up another zero. We go to the bottom of the eighth. 8-2, New York. They've scored three runs or fewer in 11 of the 18. That's up the middle. Soto's got his second hit of the night. One out single in the eighth. The Mets 11th in the game. A little looper. Shallow center. This may fall in. And it does for a base hit. Soto running all the way. Read it perfectly. And he goes first to third. And he hits a soft ground ball. And the pitcher bobbles it. And everybody's safe as a one comes home. Oh, wow. Simi hits one slowly up the line. And this will be an infield hit. That will load the bases. 3-2 to Ewing. And he walked up to fourth and a run. Second RBI for Ewing on base for the fourth time. And Luis grounds one to third. Workman makes the throw on target to retire the side. So Rodgers gets his man. Mets lead 10-2 going into the night. IU Lee on deck. Fly ball out to right.
