Overview
- Myers, who closed Friday’s 3-1, 10-inning win at Chase Field, recorded his first major-league save with a 10-pitch, 1-2-3 frame.
- Mendoza said he discussed sending Devin Williams back out but chose Myers to manage usage after a quick ninth and a thin bullpen.
- Williams delivered a clean ninth and has six straight scoreless outings with one hit allowed, eight strikeouts, and no walks over 5 2/3 innings.
- Myers has worked as an opener, multi-inning arm, and late-inning option, and he is tentatively lined up to open Sunday as the Mets mix roles.
- The right-hander entered Saturday with a 3.42 ERA and a 4.3% walk rate, and coaches praise his attack-the-zone approach after a brief stumble in Colorado.
