PHILADELPHIA — If Tylor Megill’s first terrific start of the season was just a trial-run against a rebuilding Nationals team, then his second outing of the year against a loaded Phillies lineup was a big test. Megill, again unflappable, passed with flying colors.
The young right-hander picked up where he left off on opening day, turning in another scoreless start in the Mets’ 2-0 win over the Phillies on Tuesday at Citizens Bank Park. Edwin Diaz shut the door in the ninth, recording three strikeouts, and collected his first save of the season.
The Mets (4-2) snapped a two-game losing streak and will try to win the series in Wednesday’s finale with Max Scherzer going toe-to-toe against Aaron Nola.
