Mets Recall Tobias Myers, Earn Win in Victory Over Giants

On Sunday in early September, the New York Mets defeated the San Francisco Giants 4–2. The decisive moment came in the eighth inning when the Mets recalled right-hander Tobias Myers from Triple-A Syracuse and used him to retire the heart of the Giants’ order, preserving a two-run lead. The Giants, coping with a rotation decimated by injuries, started 24-year-old rookie Cesar Perdomo, who earned his first major-league start earlier in the month.

The Giants entered the series with 20 players on the injured list, forcing manager Tony Vitello to rely heavily on call-ups. Perdomo’s start was his first major-league appearance after a debut against the Pittsburgh Pirates in which he allowed one earned run over four innings.

The Mets had been reshuffling their bullpen after the trade deadline sent relievers Brooks Raley and Luke Weaver elsewhere. Left-hander Jefry Yan was optioned to Syracuse, and Tobias Myers—acquired in January with Freddy Peralta—was recalled. Prior to his return, Myers was 0-2 with a 6.26 ERA in 26 appearances and had last pitched for the Mets on July 11 against Boston.
