DETROIT -- The ball bounced off first baseman James Loney and past second baseman Neil Walker, hopping agonizingly into right field.Another break had gone against the New York Mets -- or so it seemed.My first thought is: `Not again. Youve got to be kidding me, manager Terry Collins said.The sinking feeling was only temporary this time. After Casey McGehees grounder slipped through the right side of the infield, Detroit ran itself out of the eighth inning with a baserunning blunder, and Walkers two-run homer in the top of the ninth gave New York a 3-1 win over the Tigers on Sunday.The Mets -- victimized by back-to-back infield singles in the seventh -- managed to avoid a three-game sweep. Detroit lost for only the second time in 12 games.Weve got to hang in there, we cant get down, weve got to stay as positive as we can, Collins said. Hopefully, we start getting a few guys back and make a good run.The injury-plagued Mets had allowed Detroit to tie the game at 1 in the seventh with the help of a couple fluky infield hits. Then the Tigers put men on first and second with two outs in the eighth. McGehee slapped a grounder that deflected off Loney and into shallow right field, but J.D. Martinez stopped at third instead of coming around to score.Justin Upton, who had started the play on first, kept going toward third, leaving two Detroit runners in the vicinity of the same base. Right fielder Curtis Granderson patiently ran the ball all the way in, and Martinez was eventually tagged out in a rundown.J.D. has his back to the play, so he sees it get knocked down and hes thinking he has to stop. By that time, if he tries to start up again and go, hes out by 20 feet, Detroit manager Brad Ausmus said. Theres no blame here. Justin looked back and saw the ball got through, so hes thinking that J.D. saw the same thing. J.D. didnt.New York retook the lead when Walker went deep off Francisco Rodriguez (1-2). The Mets still trail NL East-leading Washington by nine games, but theyre very much in the thick of the race for the wild cards.Detroit trails AL Central-leading Cleveland by two games.Anibal Sanchez pitched eight impressive innings for the Tigers, and Jacob deGrom was strong for the Mets. Addison Reed (3-2) got the win in relief, and Jeurys Familia pitched the ninth for his major league-leading 39th save in 41 chances.Michael Conforto homered for the Mets in the seventh.New Yorks 1-0 lead didnt last long after Confortos drive. With runners on first and second and two outs in the bottom of the seventh, Andrew Romine hit a dribbler toward third and the Mets had no play. That was it for deGrom, who was replaced by Jerry Blevins.Pinch-hitter Ian Kinsler then hit a soft chopper that made it past the mound for another infield single, tying the game.Rodriguez hit Alejandro De Aza with a pitch to start the ninth, and Walker followed with a drive to right-center.Guys are doing a really good job of not worrying about whos hurt, whos behind them, whats going on, what their numbers say, Walker said. Theyre really focused in on each night, and thats important, especially this time of year.Sanchez allowed a run and four hits, striking out 10 with no walks.DeGrom gave up a run and seven hits in 6 2/3 innings.DOUBLING UPThe Mets hit into three double plays in the final four innings in a loss Saturday night. On Sunday, it was Detroits turn to waste scoring chances. The Tigers grounded into double plays in the first, second and fourth.TRAINERS ROOMMets: SS Jose Reyes (left oblique strain) is scheduled to play in a simulated game Monday in Florida. ... De Aza had a wrap around his right wrist after the game but said he was OK and expects to be ready for his teams next game.UP NEXTMets: New York has Monday off before hosting Arizona for three games.

SPRINGFIELD, N.J. -- Phil Mickelson is running out of time to validate what quietly has been a good year, minus only a victory.He is not running out of patience.Mickelson expects the disappointment from his runner-up finish in the British Open to linger because of how well he played, only to lose to the lowest score in major championship history. He found himself thinking too much about results in the PGA Championship, and along with not making putts, he was never a factor at Baltusrol.Certainly, the play this year at the British tells me that Im able to play at a high level, said Mickelson, who turned 46 in June and is starting to check out colleges for his oldest daughter, 17-year-old Amanda. Im starting to see my game come back. Im starting to hit the shots again -- what Im visualizing, what Im seeing -- and doing it with ease now.He had only two winless years on the PGA Tour, 1999 and 2003, until going the last two years without a victory. The British Open wasnt his only close call. He missed a short putt at Pebble Beach to get into a playoff with Vaughn Taylor. He closed with a 67 to finish second in the FedEx St. Jude Classic. And then there was Royal Troon, where his 267 was topped only by Henrik Stensons 264 in British Open history. Call that a case of bad timing.Even so, three runner-up finishes is the most Mickelson has ever had in a year that he didnt win.Next up is a three-week break before he plans to play all four FedEx Cup playoff events. He has announced that after the Ryder Cup, he will play the Safeway Open that starts the 2016-17 season in Napa, California.I wouldnt say the lack of a win this year would be a failure, but it wouldnt be as successful as I want or expect, Mickelson said. However, Im optimistic heading into these next few events because Im starting to hit shots.Lost in this winless year is that Mickelson is on the verge of qualifying for his 11th straight Ryder Cup team. He has never been a captains pick. Perhaps even more amazing is that his passion is still high in his 25th year on the PGA Tour.Its been very frustrating for me when I arrive to the course and shots arent coming off, he said. Trying to hit fades and its drawing. Ball is not starting down my intended line. All those things have been very frustrating, but that has not been the case this year. The ball is starting down my line. The feel and touch is starting to come back. Im starting to shoot some good scores. So Im excited about where its going.---JACKS (NEW) STAND: Jack Nicklaus didnt understand why golfers would not want to go to Rio for the sports return to the Olympics after 112 years, and opinions grew stronger when Rory McIlroy said he took up golf to win championships, not grow the game.Nicklaus changed his mind, however, during the opening of The Golden Bear Grill last week in the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport. The 18-time major champion said he initially felt bad for golf when top players began withdrawing, thinking it was selfish on their part to not help grow the game.Then I started thinking more about it and thought maybe I shouldnt have said that because its not about that, Nicklaus said. They arent about growing golf right now. They are into playing golf. Im into growing ggolf because Im past my time.dddddddddddd ... Ive taken the opposite side of my own opinion.---FAST START: Bryson DeChambeau tied for fourth in his professional debut at Hilton Head in April, and it appeared he would be a lock to go straight from college to the PGA Tour and earning a full card.Instead, that honor might go to Jon Rahm of Arizona State.He waited until after the U.S. Open to turn pro, and the Spaniard tied for third in his pro debut at the Quicken Loans National. Then, he tied for second at the RBC Canadian Open two weeks ago. He has yet to miss a PGA Tour cut in four starts as a pro. Rahm made the cut in four of the five PGA Tour events he played in college.The high finishes over the last six weeks enabled him to take special temporary membership, making him eligible for unlimited sponsor exemptions. Thats not a big deal because only three tournaments are left.Rahm is playing the Travelers Championship this week, and he is likely to finish the equivalent of top 125 on the money list to earn a full PGA Tour card. The last player to do that was Bud Cauley in 2011.Even if he gets his card, Rahm would not be eligible for the FedEx Cup playoffs unless he wins, which would make him a PGA Tour member immediately.DeChambeau, meanwhile, still has work to do for him to avoid the Web.com Tour Finals. He missed four straight cuts after his tie for fourth, and only once has finished in the top 20. He also is playing the Travelers Championship.---RYDER CUP SHIRTS: Davis Love III is among the few who actually liked the Sunday shirts that Ryder Cup captain Ben Crenshaw had them wear at Brookline in 1999. They were maroon with old photos of previous winning U.S. teams, though that was hard to see from a distance.Either way, they worked, and thats why Love still keeps his shirts.Both of them, as it turns out, thanks to PGA of America manager Susan Martin.I got soaked with champagne, and for the closing ceremony, she gave me a dry one, Love said. So Ive got two. People always ask me, `Do you still have that shirt? I say, `Not only do I have it, I have two of them.---DIVOTS: With his tie for 13th in the PGA Championship, Jordan Spieth went over $25 million in career earnings. He turned 23 last Wednesday. ...
