The Mets faced a tough loss to the Cubs on Saturday, with pitcher Tylor Megill struggling in the first inning. He gave up five runs and expressed frustration with his performance, acknowledging that he needs to do better for the team. Despite this setback, manager Carlos Mendoza remains confident in Megill’s ability to bounce back from a tough start.
In addition to Megill’s struggles, outfielder Starling Marte had to leave the game in the second inning due to knee soreness. This was a new issue for Marte, who stated that he has not experienced this type of nagging injury in his career before. Mendoza provided an update on Marte’s condition and the team will closely monitor his knee soreness to ensure he is healthy and able to return to play soon.
