New York Mets right-hander Tylor Megill recovered from a scary start to earn his first win in over two months.
Megill commenced his third major league assignment of the year on Friday and came through for Queens after a shaky start: the right-hander afforded the Chicago White Sox an early lead at Guaranteed Rate Field but he recovered well enough to throw five innings of shutout ball after that, giving him just enough to qualify for the win in an eventual 5-1 triumph.
Megill is back in New York thanks to Paul Blackburn's injury, and pitched well enough to keep the Mets within three games of Atlanta for the third and final National League Wild Card spot. As he mentioned, things started shaky against the lowly White Sox. But after working out of that jam, and letting one more leadoff man on base in the next inning, Megill retired the next 10 batters; New York's lineup staked him with a 4-1 lead on Jesse Winker's RBI double and J.D. Martinez's two-run home run in the third inning. Megill's final full inning saw him strike out the top of the Chicago order in the fifth, needing just 14 pitches to pull it off.“I thought he settled in nicely,” Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said.
