Tylor Megill was on his way to having another solid start for Triple-A, but could not finish the fifth on Tuesday night.
Pitching in his third start with Syracuse, Megill scattered base runners for the first three innings before a 1-2-3 fourth put the Mets' big right-hander in the driver's seat. However, the wheels would fall off in the fifth inning for Megill. With a 3-0 lead, Megill would allow a single and a double to lead off the inning as Buffalo scored their first run. After he walked, Syracuse pulled Megill from the game without him recording an out in the fifth.
Alex Carrillo relieved Megill and allowed his two inherited runners to score. Megill allowed three runs on six hits, two walks, while striking out five batters across his four-plus innings (79 pitches/44 strikes).
Tuesday's start was similar to his last start with Syracuse when he allowed three runs in four innings of work. After not allowing a run in his first three minor league starts (10 IP), Megill has now allowed six runs in eight innings.

On the offensive side, the Mets had Francisco Alvarez and Jose Siri rehabbing with Syracuse on Tuesday. For Siri, it's his first rehab game with the Triple-A club, and he led off the game with a single. Siri would come around to score on a Ryan Clifford single. Siri, who started as Syracuse's DH, finished 1-for-5 with a run scored and four strikeouts.
Alvarez caught all nine innings of Tuesday's 4-3 loss but also had a hit. The backstop hit a groundball single up the middle in the fifth inning and scored on a Carson Benge single. Alvarez finished 1-for-4 with a run scored and two strikeouts.
As for the Mets' prospects, Jett Williams struck out three times in his 0-for-4 night, but walked and came around to score. Clifford went 2-for-3 with a walk and an RBI. Benge drove in two runs on one hit in three at-bats and struck out once.
