The offense was great, and so was David Peterson. Other things...weren’t.
Game 1 of Saturday’s doubleheader went the Mets way as the offense smacked around the Braves en route to an 8-5 win. David Peterson danced around traffic in a solid start, and the Met offense managed to punch back every time the Braves tried to make this one a game. The Mets did have to burn Edwin Diaz at the end of this one, but it’s always worth winning the game you’re currently playing as opposed to planning for the next one.
