The Tigers tagged Max Scherzer in his return from a suspension to sweep the Mets on Wednesday.
They were playing their second doubleheader in three days after getting rained out three times in the previous four days.
The Tigers were hosting the Mets for the first time in seven years. The series opener was rained out Tuesday and rescheduled as part of a day-night doubleheader. Scherzer allowed six runs and eight hits in 3 1/3 innings. He was suspended for 10 games by Major League Baseball on April 20 after getting ejected for having a foreign substance on his pitching hand during his April 19 start against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Tyler Alexander got the win by retiring the last batter in the eighth. Alex Lange pitched the ninth for his fourth save.
