Jun 29, 2024; New York City, New York, USA; New York Mets pitcher Tylor Megill reacts after leaving the game against the Houston Astros during the sixth inning at Citi Field. Mandatory Credit: John Jones-USA TODAY Sports Tylor Megill has squandered his latest opportunity to stay in the New York Mets ’ rotation, the team optioning the right-hander on Sunday after struggling the night before against the Houston Astros.
Megill had allowed just one run — a solo shot to Jake Meyers — through the first three innings of his outing before getting tagged for three to pull the Astros within a pair of runs. With two men on and one out in the top of the fourth, he got ahead of Jeremy Pena 0-2 before hanging a curveball that was struck for a double to plate a pair.
The down day continued a difficult stretch for Megill, who now has posted a 7.43 ERA in his past five starts. That stretch swelled his season ERA from 1.69 on May 28 to 5.07 after Saturday.“Basically, it’s about trusting his stuff,” Mendoza said. “Attack, stay on the attack, and try to put hitters away as quick as possible so he can go deep in games.”
