Mets leave the desert with a series win behind strong pitching

The Mets were in danger of losing their first series of the year after splitting the first two games against the Arizona Diamondbacks. To prevent that from happening, they turned to Tylor Megill, who has been fabulous since filling in for Jacob deGrom.

The Mets handed him a lead early when Mark Canha got things started with a single and an error, which allowed him to reach second base. Francisco Lindor drove him in and Megill had a 1-0 lead to work with when he took the mound in the bottom of the inning. He took the slim lead and ran with it until the fourth when he gave up a solo home run to Christian Walker, who had the knack for going yard this series.
