Tylor Megill earned his first win since last month, slumping Daniel Vogelbach homered in his return to the lineup and the Mets beat the skidding Cardinals on Friday night in a series opener between two of baseball's most disappointing teams.
Can't say the same for the St. Louis Cardinals.
"We are finding ways to punch back instead of waiting for something to happen. The past couple days we've made something happen." "We've been trying to figure things out mechanically. My fastball hasn't been good lately," Megill said."Obviously yeah, after Pittsburgh, very frustrated with myself and wanted to come out and get it going."
Vogelbach snapped an 0-for-12 slide with his third homer in the sixth, making it 6-1 with a solo shot deep into the second deck in right field. It was his first long ball in 53 at-bats since May 7 at Colorado. "At the end of the day, the name of the game is winning," Vogelbach said."And if I'm not going to do my part to help the team win, then somebody else can. So that's why you put in the work."
