Tylor Megill tossed six innings of one-run ball — but Trevor Gott couldn’t hold a 3-2 lead in the ninth — as the Mets’ bullpen let them down again.
The trades of Max Scherzer and Justin Verlander reopened a spot in the Mets’ rotation this month for Tylor Megill, and the righty posted his finest start since early this season Monday night against Scherzer’s new playoff-contending team.
Gott nearly escaped with two runners in scoring position in the ninth with strikeouts of Leody Taveras and Marcus Semien. Scherzer, who won’t pitch in this series in his first trip back to Flushing following his trade-deadline move to Texas, received more boos than cheers when the Mets welcomed him back with a video tribute minutes before the first pitch.
Megill hadn’t been much better over his first four outings since rejoining the rotation, posting a 6.86 ERA over 19 ²/₃ innings, including five earned runs apiece in starts against the Orioles and the Braves.
