Taking the mound against Yankees ace Max Fried in Sunday night’s Subway Series finale, David Peterson gave the Mets the exact type of effort they were looking for.
The southpaw was hurt by his defense early, as the slow-footed Paul Goldschmidt reached on a Mark Vientos error leading off the bottom of the first, and then Cody Bellinger drove in the first two runs of the game after an Aaron Judge double.
Peterson did well to settle in after that -- working around a leadoff single in the second and then a two out walk in the bottom of the third before putting together his first 1-2-3 frame of the night.
