Mets' Tylor Megill Struggles Against Yankees Amid Rotational Uncertainty

Tylor Megill, once a dependable Mets starter during April, has struggled significantly in May, exemplified by his poor outing against the Yankees where he allowed four earned runs on four hits and five walks over 2.2 innings. This performance continued a troubling trend in which his ERA ballooned from 1.09 in late April to 3.74, with a marked difference in effectiveness between early and later season starts. Megill's command issues, including a lack of strikes and multiple walks in critical moments, have been a focal point, with Mets manager Carlos Mendoza emphasizing the need for continued work and confidence rebuilding. Despite flashes of talent, Megill has had difficulty maintaining consistency at the major league level, experiencing a yo-yo pattern of dominance and struggles. His recent outings have seen him unable to get through the third inning, with seven baserunners allowed in the inning against the Yankees, leading to early exits and mounting pressure on his role in the rotation. Megill is expected to pitch next against the Red Sox, with hopes that he can regain form and stability.
