DETROIT -- By Justin Verlanders lofty standards, this was a so-so performance. It was more than enough to boost a battered Detroit pitching staff. Verlander pitched seven solid innings Thursday to lead the Tigers to a 5-2 win over the big-hitting New York Mets. Detroit had allowed 30 runs in the first two games of the series, but Verlander finished a terrific June by holding New York at bay, preventing a sweep. "Each day is a new day in baseball, and thats the beautiful thing about this. They go out and score however many runs in two days with a bunch of hits, but you turn the page," Verlander said. "Youve got to know as a starting pitcher, no matter what theyve done before, if you make your pitches and execute, good pitching beats good hitting." The Mets had scored a team-record 52 runs in their previous four games. Verlander (11-3) held them to one run and seven hits. He finished June with a 6-0 record and a 0.92 earned-run average, and tied CC Sabathia for the major league lead in wins this season. Verlander has won his last seven starts, allowing two or fewer runs in each. "Hes awesome," Mets star Jose Reyes said. "We had him in trouble a couple times, but he always makes a pitch to get out of it. Thats why he is one of the best in the game." Daniel Murphy and Carlos Beltran homered for New Yorks only runs. Andy Dirks hit a solo shot for the Tigers. Mike Pelfrey (4-7) allowed four earned runs in 4 2-3 innings for the Mets, who start a three-game home series against the Yankees on Friday night. Detroit needed a good start from Verlander after losing 16-9 the previous night and 14-3 on Tuesday. Every Tiger that pitched Wednesday gave up at least one run -- except utilityman Don Kelly, who took the mound during the ninth that night in an amusing scene. Verlander was up to the task. He threw 120 pitches, striking out six and walking two. It wasnt his most dominating effort, but it came at an important time. "I didnt pitch well, I battled well," Verlander said. "Thats something I pride myself on. Ive been on a pretty good run here, had pretty doggone good stuff for a period of time here. Youve got to know that thats not going to last an entire season." About the only thing Verlander didnt do was get Reyes out. The splendid shortstop reached base in all three plate appearances against the Detroit ace, but didnt come around to score. Reyes led off the game with a double, and the Mets seemed ready to break loose once again. But Jason Pridie followed by lining into a double play. Verlander said the Tigers actually caught a break when they let Reyes stretch his bloop hit into a double because second baseman Ramon Santiago stayed in position to catch Pridies hit. "We kind of got lucky there," Verlander said. "If hes on first base -- thats assuming he hasnt stolen second base yet -- were playing double-play depth. That ball off the end of the bat is a base hit." With the Mets down 5-1, Lucas Duda led off the seventh with a triple, but he was thrown out by left-fielder Brennan Boesch when he tagged up and tried to score on a fly ball. Mets manager Terry Collins came out to argue, but to no avail. "The way hes pitching right now, its unbelievable," Dirks said. "We just try to play good defence behind him and put up some runs and win the ballgame." Joaquin Benoit relieved Verlander and allowed Beltrans 12th homer of the season. The Mets hit no homers in their 16-run outburst Wednesday. Jose Valverde finished for his 19th save. Pelfrey gave up eight hits and struck out three. He tied a career high with five walks, all in the first three innings. Detroit left the bases loaded in the first, but Austin Jackson hit an RBI single for the Tigers in the second to make it 1-1 after Murphy homered in the top half. The Tigers loaded the bases with one out in the third, and Alex Avila hit a sacrifice fly. Santiago then hit an RBI single, and centre-fielder Angel Pagans throw to third was wild for an error, allowing another run to come home. Dirks homered in the fifth to make it 5-1. New York right-hander Manny Acosta left in the eighth with a hyperextended wrist on his throwing arm after making an acrobatic play to field a bunt by Santiago. NOTES: Dirks, a rookie, has six homers in 92 at-bats. ... Reyes double was his 213th, passing Edgardo Alfonzo for fourth place on the franchises career list. Andre Tippett Throwback Jersey .

And this recent run of success also has general manager Bryan Murray re-thinking his plans for the near future with the March 5 trade deadline not too far away.(CCA) - A new face, but the same province, has emerged as the mens champion at the 2014 M&M Meat Shops Canadian Junior Curling Championships. Manitobas Braden Calvert and his team from Winnipeg - third Kyle Kurz, second Lucas Van Den Bosch, lead Brendan Wilson and coach Tom Clasper - beat New Brunswicks René Comeau 7-5 on Sunday afternoon at Queens Place Emera Centre in the mens gold-medal game. It gave Manitoba back-to-back mens titles at the Canadian Juniors, following Matt Dunstones victory a year ago in Fort McMurray, Alta. "Its a dream come true, really," said an ecstatic Calvert, whose team will join womens champ Kelsey Rocque of Alberta at the 2014 World Junior Curling Championships, beginning Feb. 26 in Flims, Switzerland. "The guys just played really well all week, and we managed to do it. Unbelievable. Im in shock right now." It wasnt a perfect start for the Manitobans, whod had the berth in the final clinched since Wednesday; the 18-year-old Calvert nose-hit a blank attempt in the first end, surrendered a deuce to New Brunswick in the second, and was held to one in the third. "To be honest, it was a bit of a grind," admitted Calvert, an agriculture student at the University of Manitoba. "We tried to stay sharp with practices, but you cant really prepare for what just happened. I think we came out a little sluggish, to be honest. But we managed to grind one out." In the fourth, Manitoba put the heat on Comeau, and the New Brunswick skip couldnt respond. His hit attempt misseed everything and gave Manitoba a game-turning steal of four.dddddddddddd. "Really, it was just one shot," said Comeau, whose team from Fredericton was rounded out by third Daniel Wenzek, second Jordan Craft, lead Ryan Freeze and coach Damien Lahiton. "We battled hard and tried to come back. But theyre a great hitting team. Once you get down to them, its hard to come back." New Brunswick fought back, getting a deuce in the fourth end, and then stealing one in the sixth when Calvert couldnt make a draw to bite the pin. But Calvert made a clutch delicate tap in the eighth to take back some momentum, and his teammates went to work in the ninth and 10th ends to keep the house clean. Calvert finished the game with an open takeout to run New Brunswick out of rocks. "I was just happy we were on the podium," said Comeau. "Im definitely excited about our future; we learned this week that we can compete with the best teams in Canada. Lots to come — it wont be the last you hear from us." Now, the Manitobans sights will turn to Switzerland and the chance to wear Canadian colours on the world stage. "I definitely think Im ready, and I think our team is, too," said Calvert. "We just practise so well and so much that I think well be prepared for the challenge." Albertas Carter Lautner (Calgary), backed up by third Taylor Ardiel, second David Aho, lead Kyle Morrison and coach Jim Lautner, won the bronze medal after losing to New Brunswick in Sunday mornings semifinal. cheap jerseys wholesale jerseys ' ' '
