Tylor Megill was coming off perhaps the best start of a young career after being thrust into an unexpected role in the 2021 MLB season last week against the Giants. This time around, the Giants got a measure of revenge—and then some.
With one out in the top of the first, Megill hung a slider to Brandon Belt, who promptly deposited the ball 431 feet away to dead center, directly into the Home Run Apple. And the game would just get progressively worse for the Mets from there.
The one bright spot for the team was the return to the lineup of Francisco Lindor.
