Maybe Tylor Megill is for real this time

Megill ranks fourth among qualified pitchers in ERA right now.

Seven starts into his 2025 season, Tylor Megill is looking better than ever before. Among starting pitchers who have thrown at least 30 innings, he ranks 20th out of 124 with a 2.50 ERA, one spot behind rotation-mate Griffin Canning and one spot ahead of former Mets ace Jacob deGrom.

Early-season success is nothing new to Megill, of course. In regular season games in March and April, Megill has a...

Kodai Senga had a weird outing against the Diamondbacks

Rick Scuteri-Imagn Images

Five walks, two hits, no earned runs.

It is very rare that a pitcher will struggle with control as mightily as Kodai Senga did early in yesterday’s 7-1 Mets victory over the Diamondbacks and not only win the game, but not give up an earned run in the process.

In the bottom of the first, Senga walked two batters, but escaped without trouble when the first of those, Corbin Carroll, was throw out trying to steal second, and he induced a weak pop up and a...

Meet the Mets

Juan Soto helped power the Mets to victory in Arizona with two home runs. The last time he left the yard twice was in a losing effort but this time the Mets were able to secure the win and take the series from the Diamondbacks. Kodai Senga got the start and was a bit shaky walking five batters but he managed to settle down and keep Arizona off the board. The...

Mets 7, Diamondbacks 1 - Senga, Soto lead Mets to victory in the desert

Rick Scuteri-Imagn Images

The Mets take two of three in Arizona.

After dropping the second game of their trip to Chase Field last night, the Mets rebounded in the matinee, trouncing the Diamondbacks 7-1 in their season finale.

Kodai Senga had one of his best starts of the young season today, tossing six innings of scoreless ball, giving up just two hits while walking five and striking out four. It is rare that a performance that features five walks also features no runs scored, but...

Diamondbacks 5, Mets 1: Mets score just one run, fall to Diamondbacks

Photo by Christian Petersen/Getty Images

The Mets have lost five of their last seven games.

The Mets threatened to score a bunch of runs, but they only plated one in a loss to the Diamondbacks tonight in Arizona.

The biggest opportunity of the night came in the third inning, as the Mets had Diamondbacks starter Zac Gallen on the ropes. Back-to-back-to-back walks by Gallen forced in a run, but Starling Marte—who hit cleanup in this one—came up empty as he struck out on three pitches with...
