Tylor Megill had a challenging outing against the Yankees, lasting only 2 and 2/3 innings and allowing four earned runs, five walks, and four hits. His manager criticized his lack of control, which allowed a potent Yankees offense to capitalize on every mistake. After a stellar start to the season with a 1.74 ERA, Megill's recent performance has dropped to an 8.76 ERA over the last three games. His admission of self-inflicted problems highlights a decline in his pitching form.
"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."
"I'm just putting myself in bad situations and falling behind," Megill said.
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.
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.
