Megill (2-4) took the loss in the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Nationals, giving up four runs on seven hits and a walk over six innings as the Mets fell 4-3. He struck out eight.
New York's bullpen got taxed when the matinee went to extra innings, but Megill stepped up and worked the entire nightcap, although his offense couldn't matched its 11-run outburst earlier in the day to reward the right-hander with a win. Megill did tie his career high in strikeouts, and on the year the rookie sports a 4.20 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 78:19 K:BB through 70.2 innings.
