In the game against the Cubs on Saturday, Mets starter Tylor Megill struggled, giving up five runs in the first inning. Despite his tough outing, Megill acknowledged that he needs to improve for the team and expressed frustration with his performance. Manager Carlos Mendoza agreed that Megill needs to do better but remains confident in his abilities to recover from this setback.
On the field, outfielder Starling Marte was forced to exit in the second inning due to knee soreness. This is a new issue for him in his career, and Mendoza provided an update on Marte’s condition, indicating that the team will monitor his progress closely. Marte himself emphasized the need for careful management of his injury to ensure a full recovery and noted that this knee problem is something he hasn’t dealt with before.
