Frankie Montas said he doesn’t know if he’s still tipping his pitches, but he does know he’s improving.

Montas, who told SNY this past week that he believed he was tipping his pitches in starts against Atlanta and the Pirates, showcased strong stuff that belied a so-so line in the Mets’ 12-6 win over the Yankees on Saturday at Citi Field. The righthander allowed four runs and five hits in 5 2⁄3 innings.

“I don’t know,” Montas said. “I go out there and I really don’t think about it when I’m on the mound at all. I think it’s about getting people out. Even if I’m tipping or whatever, you’ve still got to put a good swing on it.”

Montas also told SNY that he was working with pitching coach Jeremy Hefner to rectify the issue before this latest start.

The Mets signed righthanded reliever Zach Pop to a one-year deal on Saturday. Pop, who most recently was with the Mariners and elected free agency after clearing waivers, has a 4.75 ERA in 162 major-league appearances. He throws a hard sinker, slider and cutter. His best year was in 2022, when he compiled a 2.77 ERA in stints with the Marlins and Blue Jays.

He allowed eight earned runs and 10 hits in four appearances (5 1/3 innings) innings with Seattle this season.

With runners on first and second and none out in the first inning Saturday, red-hot Juan Soto made the interesting decision to drop a sacrifice bunt instead of swinging away. It worked out fine when Pete Alonso walked and Brandon Nimmo hit a grand slam . . . Chris Devenski will start for the Mets on Sunday, presumably as an opener. Devenski got an out in relief Saturday . . . Tylor Megill (hamstring strain) began playing catch on Saturday at about 70 to 75 feet, though it’ll be “weeks of him just throwing before he gets on the mound,” Carlos Mendoza said . . . Brooks Raley (Tommy John surgery), still slated to return after the All-Star break, pitched well again Friday in a rehab outing with Triple-A Syracuse. He allowed no runs and one hit in one inning, struck out one and walked one. The lefty has yet to allow a run in six minor-league appearances (6 2⁄3 innings). He has struck out 11 and walked one. Mendoza said the Mets still want to see Raley pitch in back-to-back games and two out of three. “He’s putting himself in a good position, he’s responding well, bouncing back well,” Mendoza said. “Now [we’re] basically preparing him for potential scenarios with the way we want to use him here.” . . .  Austin Warren was optioned to Syracuse and former Long Island Duck Tyler Zuber was designated for assignment .  .  .  Kodai Senga (hamstring) threw 3 2⁄3 innings in a rehab outing with Double-A Binghamton on Saturday. He allowed four runs (three earned), six hits and two walks, striking out four.
