Tylor Megill and the Mets’ bullpen failed to hold an early lead, as the Mets lost to the Astros 9-6 in a game where Edwin Díaz’s absence and the injuries affecting the bullpen were acutely felt. The Mets managed to knock Framber Valdez around for six runs on ten hits to build an early five-run lead, but were held there by the Astros bullpen. Meanwhile, Tylor Megill kept the Astros in it and the walk plagued Jake Diekman and Reed Garrett, as the Astros came back to pull in front in the late innings despite a strong Mets debut for Ty Adcock.
