Mets’ Starling Marte and Pitcher Tylor Megill Suffer Injury and Poor Outing in Loss to Cubs

Mets outfielder Starling Marte had to leave the game in the second inning due to knee soreness on Saturday. This was a new issue for Marte, who stated that he has not experienced this type of nagging injury in his career before. Mets pitcher Tylor Megill did not have a good outing in the team’s 8-1 loss to the Cubs on Saturday, giving up five runs in the first inning and expressing frustration with his performance. Manager Carlos Mendoza agreed with Megill’s assessment but remains confident in his ability to bounce back from a tough start.
