Mets pitcher Tylor Megill did not have a good outing in the team’s 8-1 loss to the Cubs on Saturday. He gave up five runs in the first inning and expressed frustration with his performance, acknowledging that he needs to do better for the team. Manager Carlos Mendoza agreed with Megill’s assessment but remains confident in his ability to bounce back from a tough start.
In addition to Megill’s struggles, outfielder Starling Marte had to leave the game in the second inning due to knee soreness. This was a new issue for Marte, who stated that he has not experienced this type of nagging injury in his career before. Mendoza provided an update on Marte’s condition and the team will monitor his knee soreness closely to ensure he is healthy and able to return to play soon.
