NEW YORK — Tylor Megill was in Syracuse two weeks ago preparing to start the season in Triple-A. After three appearances this season, he’s gone from a depth starter to one of the Mets’ more reliable arms.
It’s a small sample size, but Megill is 3-0 with a 2.25 ERA after the Mets’ 5-2 win over the San Diego Padres on Wednesday afternoon at Citi Field. Megill went five innings in the win, allowing a two-run homer to Juan Soto in the first inning before going four strong afterwards.
Left-hander Blake Snell didn’t give up much either, but the Mets (7-6) got two big bangs from Francisco Lindor and Pete Alonso and strung together a few more runs to take the series 2-1 from San Diego (7-6).
