Mets announce lineup for Tuesday's game vs Los Angeles Dodgers
LOS ANGELES — The Mets are one win away from locking up a season series win over the Dodgers. The first chance to wrap it up comes at 10:10 p.m. on Tuesday night at Dodger Stadium after the Mets fought back in the 10th inning to claim a 4-3 victory on Monday night. Advertisement Against the Dodgers' Tanner Scott, Francisco Alvarez supplied the go-ahead RBI double and Francisco Lindor chipped in a crucial RBI single in extra innings. The victory, which gave the Mets the best record in the National League at 38-22, did come at a cost, with Mark Vientos sustaining a right hamstring strain in the 10th inning. Ronny Mauricio has joined the team in Los Angeles for his first major league action since 2023, while Vientos was placed on the 10-day injured list on Tuesday. As the Mets look to claim their fourth win in five tries against the Dodgers — and extend their win streak to five games — Tylor Megill will get the start for the Mets. In 11 starts this season, Megill is 4-4 with a 3.56 ERA and 72 strikeouts in 53⅔ innings. Last time out, Megill allowed two earned runs in 5⅔ innings with six strikeouts to claim the win over the White Sox. Clayton Kershaw will be making his fourth start of the season for the Dodgers after allowing one earned run in five innings with three strikeouts in his most recent start against the Guardians. Kershaw faced the Mets on May 23 at Citi Field but saw his outing cut short after two scoreless innings due to a lengthy rain delay.

More free passes could be headed Rafael Devers's way
'I think they made the right decisions,' Megill told reporters of the intentional walk to Devers. 'He's got 48 RBIs and 12 homers, so he's doing something right. I put the trust in what they're seeing back there in the dugout and just go and attack the next guy. It seemed to work out.'

Wong got ahead in the count, 2-0, but Megill challenged him in the zone with back-to-back 99 m.p.h. fastballs, then got a game-ending flyout to right on a 100 m.p.h. heater. Devers now has 43 walks for the year — a pace that would yield 124 over 162 games. He has the most walks for a Red Sox hitter through 56 games since Kevin Youkilis (also 43) in 2010. Advertisement Without Bregman, how difficult is it for manager Alex Cora to protect Devers in the lineup? 'Very. Very,' he said. 'But I'm going to keep saying it. We have to find a way.' Related : Narváez became the third player in four Bregman-less contests to hit behind Devers, with the team previously employing Wilyer Abreu and Rob Refsnyder . On Monday, Cora put Narváez in the third spot in the order with Kristian Campbell back at cleanup in order to try to create space between Devers and Abreu (batting fifth on Monday) in the lineup. Undecided on Tuesday starter With the Red Sox rotation jumbled by Saturday's doubleheader, the team remained undecided as of Monday afternoon about its starter for Tuesday night's game. Cora said the Sox could employ a bullpen game, but that the team might also consider having righthander Fitts, who went on the injured list on April 13 with a right pec strain, logged three scoreless innings for Double A Portland last week, sitting at 94-95 m.p.h. in the first two innings before his velocity dipped in the third. 'We feel [Fitts] is healthy, which is great,' said Cora. 'He might be a consideration [for Tuesday].' … While the Sox had yet to make a decision on Fitts, righthander Zack Kelly was sent down following the game as the Red Sox continue to scramble for bullpen innings … Advertisement PawSox reunion The series in Milwaukee offered a reminder of the remarkable broadcasting pipeline created by the PawSox and more recently WooSox. Four PawSox alums called the game, with Mike Monaco handling the radio call for the Red Sox and Jeff Levering (TV) and Josh Maurer (radio) both on the Brewers' broadcast. Maurer worked with all three as play-by-play partners during his time broadcasting PawSox and WooSox games from 2014-21. 'I thought about how incredibly special that is, that you could have the three people I worked with in Pawtucket for a lot of years all doing a Major League Baseball game together on Memorial Day,' said Maurer. 'It's kind of a pinch-yourself moment.' … Packers quarterback Jordan Love threw out the first pitch, drawing the loudest cheer of the day from the sellout crowd of 40,181.

Mets' Tylor Megill on unsteady ground after latest rocky outing in loss to Yankees
NEW YORK — Through the opening month of the baseball season, Tylor Megill was one of the most dependable starting pitchers in the Mets' rotation. The 29-year-old right-hander had earned the final spot in the rotation out of spring training following a trio of injuries to Sean Manaea, Frankie Montas and Paul Blackburn. Megill was proving he had some staying power for the first time in his career. Advertisement But since the calendar has turned to May, Megill has been dealing with the same struggles that have prevented him from taking a regular role at the major league level. Megill scuffled for the third straight outing on Friday night in the Subway Series, allowing four earned runs on four hits and five walks in 2⅔ innings and suffering the loss with the Mets falling 6-1 to the Yankees in front of 47,700 fans at Yankee Stadium. "He lost the strike zone. He didn't throw enough strikes," Carlos Mendoza said. "When you're doing it against a lineup like these guys, they're gonna make you pay." A nightmarish third inning for Tylor Megill New York Mets pitcher Tylor Megill (38) reacts after giving up an infield single to New York Yankees outfielder Cody Bellinger (not pictured) during the third inning on May 16, 2025, at Yankee Stadium. The command struggles began early as Megill walked the opening batter of the game and gave up a single, but he was able to reel it in early. He tossed a perfect second inning with a pair of strikeouts but the pressure mounted in the third inning. Advertisement It began with a single against Yankees No. 9 hitter Jorbit Rivas, who moved to second base on a groundout, and snowballed from there. Megill pitched around Aaron Judge for the first free pass of the frame. Then, Cody Bellinger singled on a soft ground ball to the left side and Paul Goldschmidt singled on a broken-bat single up the middle that Francisco Lindor fielded and threw short of first base as two runs scored. Megill did not throw a single pitch in the zone to Jasson Dominguez to load the bases again. "I thought he kept going to that slider in that inning and he couldn't throw it for a strike," Mendoza said. "It's filling the zone with quality pitches and we didn't do that today. And two more runs scored on a sacrifice fly and back-to-back walks to Austin Wells and Oswald Peraza. All told, Megill threw 39 pitches in the inning, forcing Mendoza to make a quick move to the bullpen. Advertisement "Four walks in an inning ain't gonna cut it," Megill said. "That's basically what happened tonight. Got into a tough situation, tried to make some pitches for chase, keep the score close and ended up walking quite a few that inning." May woes for Tylor Megill New York Mets pitcher Tylor Megill (38) reacts after giving up a walk to New York Yankees third baseman Oswald Peraza (18) during the third inning on May 16, 2025, at Yankee Stadium. Megill is accustomed to storming out of the gate and this season was no different. Through March and April, Megill was 3-2 with a 1.74 ERA and 39 strikeouts in 31 innings. With his latest setback on Friday, Megill is now 0-2 with an 8.76 ERA and 17 strikeouts in 12⅓ innings. He has allowed four earned runs in three straight starts. Advertisement "Just putting myself in bad situations and falling behind," Megill said of his recent struggles. "I think that's just the main thing is just getting ahead of hitters. I was not really ahead of hitters tonight and then obviously the walks came in and then putting pressure on myself with runners on." Over the course of his career, Megill has a 2.45 ERA in March and April, while that figure balloons to 5.97 in May. But Mendoza said he believes he's seen enough from Megill early in the season to believe he can get back on the right track. "He'll get through it," Megill said. "Stuff is there, as long as he continues to feel healthy and feel good, he's gonna be fine. We have to keep working with him. Advertisement "We gotta go back and watch film and make some adjustments if we need to, but it comes down to him executing, whether it's May, whether it's June, it comes down to him executing pitches and he will." Reinforcements are around the corner The Mets starting rotation will be a crowded group in the future, making Megill's recovery from his recent woes all the more important. Before Friday's game, Mendoza said that Montas, who is working back from a lat strain, was scheduled to throw a live bullpen session in Brooklyn and another on Tuesday as he works into a position where he can make a rehab assignment. Advertisement Manaea, who had an oblique strain, has a series of bullpen sessions on the horizon, including Sunday, as they add to his workload. Blackburn made his fifth rehab appearance on Friday for Double-A Binghamton and allowed three earned runs on one hit and three walks while striking out seven in 4⅓ innings. He threw 73 pitches and could be nearing a return. This article originally appeared on NY Mets: Tylor Megill scuffles in tough outing in loss to Yankees

Tylor Megill can't shake his May struggles in Subway Series opener
Access the Mets beat like never before Join Post Sports+ for exciting subscriber-only features, including real-time texting with Mike Puma about the inside buzz on the Mets. Try it free Tylor Megill, with apologies to Frank Sinatra, was riding high in April, shot down in May. The Mets right-hander had struggled in his two starts before Friday and then proceeded to turn in his shortest and sloppiest outing of the season. Advertisement Megill's biggest sin wasn't the contact he allowed — he sustained bad luck in that regard — but it was difficult to excuse his lack of control in the Mets' 6-2 loss to the Yankees in the Bronx. Overall, he surrendered four earned runs on four hits and five walks over 2 ²/₃ innings. Megill was knocked out in the third after the Yankees sent nine batters to the plate in the inning and placed the Mets in a 4-0 hole. 'He didn't throw enough strikes,' manager Carlos Mendoza said. 'And when you are doing that against an offense like these guys, they are going to make you pay.' Advertisement Tylor Megill pitches during the first inning against the New York Yankees on May 16, 2025. Getty Images Megill pitched to a 1.74 ERA in his six starts in March/April. In each of his three starts since, he's allowed four earned runs, pitching five innings or fewer, for an 8.76 ERA over that stretch. 'I'm just putting myself in bad situations and falling behind,' Megill said. Jorbit Vivas began Megill's downfall on this night with a solid single to right field leading off the third inning. After Aaron Judge drew a one-out walk, Megill received a healthy dose of tough luck: Cody Bellinger hit a slow grounder to third and beat Mark Vientos' throw, loading the bases. Advertisement Tylor Megill allowed four earned runs in 2.2 innings pitched against the Yankees on Friday. Corey Sipkin for the NY POST Paul Goldschmidt followed with a broken-bat grounder that Francisco Lindor gloved behind second base. Lindor's throw to first bounced off Pete Alonso's glove, allowing a second run to score on the play. But Megill was about to start creating his own problems. Jason Domínguez walked before Anthony Volpe's sacrifice fly extended the deficit to 3-0. Austin Wells and Oswald Peraza drew walks in succession — forcing in another run and ending Megill's night. 'Four walks in an inning, that's just not going to cut it,' Megill said. Advertisement Griffin Canning and David Peterson, the scheduled Mets starters over the next two games, can only hope for better results. Kodai Senga, who has reemerged as the Mets ace this season, won't get to pitch in the series. Clay Holmes, a former Yankee, started Wednesday against the Pirates, just missing a chance to pitch in Yankee Stadium for his new team. 'We feel good about the five guys we have got in our rotation,' Mendoza said this week when asked about his decision not to reconfigure the pitching alignment ahead of the Subway Series. 'It just happened to line up that way and we went with it.'
