In his fourth season in the upper levels of the Mets minor-league system, things are finally clicking for 26-year-old right-hander Tyler Pill.
Pill, a fourth-round pick in 2011 out of Cal State Fullerton, opened the season without allowing an earned run in his first 34 1/3 innings between Double-A Binghamton and Triple-A Las Vegas.
After limiting New Orleans to one run in 6 1/3 innings on Sunday, Pill now boasts a Pacific Coast League-leading 1.96 ERA.
Including two starts in Double-A to begin the season, Pill's overall ERA is 1.60.
"I didn't necessarily think about it until it got deeper -- maybe in the third or fourth outing," Pill said about his season-opening streak.
