SAD NEWS: Milwaukee Brewers announced that Chase Anderson is Leaving immediately today after Facing…..
After earning the fifth starter’s spot with a strong spring, Tylor Megill took the ball for New York making his regular season debut, but the Mets quickly found themselves behind again.
After Christian Yelich reached on catcher’s interference and stole second, Willy Adames drilled a liner just past Brett Bay for a two-out RBI single.
Milwaukee came through with more timely hitting again in the second, as youngsters Brice Turang and Jackson Chourio struck for back-to-back two-out hits.
Megill struggled mightily in the third, as he lost command of the strike zone and walked the bases loaded, but he somehow was able to dance out of danger thanks to a Rhys Hoskins 1-2-3 inning-ending double play.
The righty rebounded nicely after that, though, as he put together a much-needed easy inning to end his outing on a high note.
Megill finished an up-and-down outing allowing two runs (one earned) on three hits while walking three and striking out four across four innings.
– Yohan Ramirez, who is appealing his three-game suspension, allowed two runs on five hits while striking out two across three innings out of the bullpen.
– Francisco Alvarez got his first start at DH this season, and he picked up right where he left off in Saturday’s strong showing, reaching base three more times with two hits and a walk.
