(CBS DETROIT) - The Detroit Tigers were on a roll after beating the New York Mets in the first game of a doubleheader Thursday, but that undefeated record was short-lived after losing the second game.

The Tigers, now with a 5-1 record, lost 1-2 to the Mets. This comes after the matchups between the two teams were postponed on Tuesday and Wednesday due to weather. In the first game on Thursday, the Tiger ended with a 6-3 victory.

The Tigers initially took a 1-0 lead into the ninth inning of the second game.

Matt Manning, making his first start of the season, threw 5 2/3 hitless innings for Detroit before giving way to left-handed receiver Tyler Holton, who struck out Brett Baty to strand Brandon Nimmo at first base. Holton then worked a perfect seventh.

Thursday is the Mets' first win of the season after previously losing to the Tigers and the Milwaukee Brewers.

Detroit will now gear up for its home opener on Friday against the Oakland Athletics at Comerica Park.
