Despite having led for the vast majority of the game, the Mets opened their three-game series against the Rangers with a 4-3 loss. Tylor Megill pitched well, and the Mets hit a couple of home runs, but it wasn’t enough for the Mets’ bullpen.
Megill struck out eight, walked one, gave up five hits, and allowed just one run through six innings of work. And the Mets plated all three of their runs while he was in the game, with Brandon Nimmo hitting a two-run home run in the third and DJ Stewart hitting a solo shot in the fifth.
