The New York Mets are off to an impressive start this MLB season, boasting a top record in the National League at 45-26. However, despite the team's overall success, pitcher Tylor Megill has struggled significantly in recent outings. After a solid April with a 1.73 ERA, Megill's performance declined with a 5.96 ERA in May and 4.91 in June, culminating in a disappointing start against the Tampa Bay Rays where he allowed six runs in just 3.2 innings, leading to an 8-4 defeat.

Manager Carlos Mendoza expressed concern about Megill's performance, noting that while he started strong, he faltered in the fourth inning due to a series of misplays and non-competitive pitches. Megill's current season record stands at 5-5 with a 3.95 ERA over 14 starts, a slight improvement from last year’s 4.04 ERA over 15 starts. The Mets now aim to avoid a sweep against the Rays in their upcoming game.
