It took six walks and five pitchers, but the Mets secured the second no-hitter in franchise history when Tylor Megill and four relievers combined to shut down the Philadelphia Phillies in a 3-0 win at Citi Field on Friday night.
The feat is the latest highlight in a breakout season for Megill, who was the team’s unexpected opening day starter and is now 4-0 with a 1.93 E.R.A. in five starts. On Friday he had walked three and struck out five through five innings when he was pulled from the game. He had thrown 88 pitches.
Megill was relieved by Drew Smith, who threw one and a third innings, walking one.
