DETROIT – Gary Sheffield contributed to one of Tom Glavine’s worst outings with a homer and an RBI triple, helping the Detroit Tigers beat the New York Mets 15-7 on Sunday and win the series.

Brandon Inge hit a two-run single in the four-run ninth, giving him a career-best five RBIs and helping the Tigers surpass their previous season high of 14 runs.

Glavine (5-4) gave up nine earned runs for just the second time in his stellar career and for the first time in eight years.

Andrew Miller (2-0) allowed a three-run homer to David Wright in the first inning before settling down – giving up four runs, five hits and three walks over 5 1-3 innings. Miller made his second major league start in place of Nate Robertson, who is on the disabled list with a tired arm.

Glavine gave up a season-high 11 hits and lasted just 4 1-3 innings, his shortest outing of the season. The only other time Glavine gave up nine earned runs was May 24, 1999, for Atlanta against the Milwaukee Brewers.
