The right-hander pitched 3 \u00b2\/\u2083 innings for Double-A Binghamton on Sunday in a rehab start. Megill would have the potential of pitching five innings for the Mets in a first start back from the injured list. Megill was placed on the IL with right biceps inflammation on May 12.\u00a0<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n<p>The Mets entered play 5-0 in extra-inning games this season. Only the Padres (who were 6-3) had more victories in extra innings.
