The New York Mets lost to the Detroit Tigers 4-0 in 10 innings at Citi Field for their fourth consecutive loss and dropped their record to 0-4.

LHP Sean Manaea had a fine Met debut with six scoreless innings.

Manaea had a no-hitter for the first 5 2/3 innings which is the longest by a Met pitcher in his first start in team history.

His final line was six innings, one hit, two walks and eight strikeouts.

RHP Jorge Lopez followed with a scoreless top of the seventh.

LHP Brooks Raley came in next with a scoreless top of the eighth.

RHP Edwin Diaz then had a dominating top of the ninth with two strikeouts.

RHP Michael Tonkin came on in the top of the tenth and was let down by his defense after 3B Joey Wendle misplayed a grounder.

Tonkin then had a chopper bounce off his glove that would have been a double play and then gave up a sacrifice fly to SS Javier Baez.

He then gave up a three-run homer to catcher Carson Kelly which put the game out of reach.

The Met offense was unable to much all night managing only five hits and leaving nine runners on base and was 0-6 with runners in scoring position.

The Mets next game is tomorrow night, Tuesday, April 2 at home against the Tigers at 7:10 p.m.
