One more rough outing Monday night against the Cubs could’ve potentially sent David Peterson down to Triple-A Syracuse. The Mets lefty had conjured up a 6.32 ERA and 1-5 record through his first 11 starts of the year, culminating with a 2.2-inning start against Baltimore on June 8 in which he allowed eight hits and four earned runs.
But the southpaw came to pitch.
In the midst of New York’s win at Citi Field, Peterson allowed one hit and zero earned runs while striking out three batters and walking two through six innings.
