Mejia (1-1) earned his first win of the season Sunday against the Royals, allowing three runs on five hits and two walks across seven innings. He struck out three.
Mejia was sharp in his first big league outing in a month, throwing 67 percent of his pitches for strikes en route to his first quality start of the season. He did well to scatter baserunners as he went deep into the game, with his only real mistakes coming on a pair of home runs from Salvador Perez, which accounted for all of the runs on his ledger. Mejia was sent to Triple-A Rochester after the outing, but since he was called up as the 26th man during a doubleheader, he could be called back before 10 days. As a result, he's likely to be recalled and start next weekend against Tampa Bay.
