Peterson Wins MLB Debut, Mets Beat Red Sox
BOSTON (AP) — J.D. Davis banged a two-run homer off the Pesky Pole, and left-hander David Peterson pitched 5 2/3 innings to win his major league debut and lead the New York Mets to an 8-3 victory over the Boston Red Sox on Tuesday night.
The Mets swept the two-game series and sent the Red Sox to their fourth consecutive loss. The teams now move to New York for another two games at Citi Field.
Peterson allowed two runs on seven hits and two walks, striking out three on the day he was called up from the team’s alternate training site. He allowed a hard-hit ball off the Green Monster to leadoff batter José Peraza, but Davis threw Peraza out trying to stretch it into a double.
